Steel Victories: A Father-Daughter Success Story - Paperback

by Monica C. Smith (Author)

This father-daughter tale reveals how the author's father taught her how to fight and survive in an unfiltered America. Born in the early 1940s, her father was thrown into a world where he had no choice but to fight in many different arenas, including the boxing ring and the courtroom. He instilled in her his unrelenting drive and will to win. As a result, she went through life with his priceless survival playbook at her side. She became a corporate commercial real estate (CRE) director and dealmaker overcoming adversity to manage billion-dollar real estate portfolios. She also walked the path of a CRE broker.

Based on true stories, join Monica as she narrates her father's lifelong quest for justice and how it impacted his parenting and subsequently her life. She will take readers on the powerful and poignant journeys of her and her father, covering decades from the 1940s through present day-from Northwest Indiana to New York City and points in between.

Long before the last page, readers will find themselves deeply contemplating their life journey and wishing they had the author and her father somewhere in their personal orbit.
