The Inheritance - Paperback

by J. Lance Erikson (Author)

Sean Miller was raised in foster care from age ten after his parents die when he is eight, and his grandmother, his only other relative, dies two years later. Sean leaves his foster care home in Lower Manhattan, an unhappy place where he has spent the last eight years, on the morning of his eighteenth birthday because his foster parents will no longer be paid to care for him. He considers himself lucky. He has found a job as a stock clerk in a paint store and the kindly owner has offered him the storeroom as a place to live until he can afford something else. Then, just two days later, he learns from the Chairman of Manhattan Global Bank that he is heir to one of the world s largest fortunes and is, in fact, the richest man in America. With unlimited wealth at his disposal, Sean must choose between a life of idleness, temptation, or worse, and a better place - a hard choice for a poor boy raised in foster care.
