Description - The Family Secret: The Business and Franchise Owner's Guide to Building Generational Wealth by Kerri Harper-Howie

Lessons from the Inspiring Story of One Family's Journey to Success, Entrepreneurship and Building a Generational Legacy


As an attorney, Kerri Harper-Howie never planned to join her family's franchise business. But, changing life circumstances moved her to leave her successful legal career after 13 years and do exactly that in 2013. Over the next decade, the franchise business grew from 13 to 21 restaurants, and the business successfully transitioned from one generation to the next. The Family Secret tells the story of Kerri and her family's 40-year business journey, and shares insights on how others can build generational prosperity and legacy.


The Family Secret explores the emotional, practical and logistical requirements of:

  • Establishing any business properly
  • Building the foundations of cooperation and communication to turn any business into a family business
  • Joining and expanding an existing family business - what you need to consider and how best to leverage the strengths and weaknesses of those around you
  • Navigating the complexities and demands of planning and executing a succession plan


    • The Family Secret is the inspiring story of a family of Black women who succeeded against all odds, interwoven with invaluable business acumen and insight. Read it to be inspired, and finish it feeling empowered to take your business to the next level for generations to come!
