At the age of 40, the author’s father, Roy H. Park, set up Park-Hines Foods and became one of the first franchisers in the nation with the creation of the Duncan Hines brand and cake mix line. The book offers the reader a captivating account of how this business deal came to fruition between Park and Duncan Hines, himself. Park was the first advertiser ever to offer live baking commercials on TV as well as irresistible billboard photography—a game changer for the brand.
"Sons in the Shadow" is an ode to 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 forging of one of the most successful media empires in the country. As told from Roy H. Park, Jr., — “Son of the Boss” of Fortune 400 business owner Roy H. Park, Sr., 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 fierce drive, flawless business acumen, free enterprise and the difficult and complicated relationship between father and son during the years they worked together.
Perhaps most notably, it is a tale of a son's creativity, resilience and perseverance, learned forgiveness, and the study of the human soul.
