    by Roy H. Jr. Park (Author), John B. Babcock (Commentaries by)

    An epic family saga. A story for the ages...

    Written with great honesty and grace, Sons in the Shadow explores the quintessential American entrepreneur and the fascinating insights into the Park family's multi-generational media empire while they navigate the ever-changing world of TV, radio, publishing and outdoor advertising in the mid to late 20th Century. Additionally, Park-Hines Foods became one of the first franchisers in the nation by creating the Duncan Hines cake mix line and offers the reader a page-turning experience on how this business deal came to fruition.

    ​

    Sons in the Shadow exemplifies the American spirit providing an educational adventure into the world of high-powered business while divulging how the joys and tensions of family dynamics were intertwined in daily work life and in the forging of one of the most successful media empires in the country. As told from Roy H. Park, Jr., -son of Fortune 400 business owner Roy H. Park, who rose up from modest beginnings from a small farm in North Carolina to building an advertising empire that reached 25% of Americans before his death in 1993-Sons in the Shadow is a story about capitalism, free enterprise and the complicated relationship between father and son. Perhaps more importantly, it is a tale of a son's creativity, resilience and perseverance, learning the art of forgiveness, and the study of the human soul.

    "5 stars to Roy H. Park, Jr. for sharing his story and the incredible story of his dad. It is a true testament of God's plans to pass faith, freedom, vision and hard work through family."

    - Starr Parker, President, Center for Urban Renewal and Education & Syndicated Columnist with Creator's News Syndicate, DC
