Recent release "Two Boys from Hitchins: A Memoir of Adversity, Adventure, and Achievement" from Page Publishing author Edward W. Isaacs is an incredible story about a young man with piecemeal, scrapped-together education who built a restaurant chain of twenty-six stores in an incredibly short period of time in partnership with his brother. After ten years, a highly successful hotel and restaurant chain made a fantastic stock and cash offer to acquire the brothers' chain, and Edward realized the financial success that would benefit an entire community.
OLIVE HILL, Ky., June 15, 2022 -- Edward W. Isaacs, a Kentucky-born entrepreneur, husband, father, and former high school dropout who earned his GED and worked in myriad fields before founding a successful restaurant chain and restoring the high school of his youth for the benefit of future generations, has completed his new book "Two Boys from Hitchins: A Memoir of Adversity, Adventure, and Achievement": a lightly fictionalized reflection on his formative years in the Appalachian hills and his eventful journey toward personal and financial success.
"Two Boys from Hitchins: A Memoir of Adversity, Adventure, and Achievement" captures the life and times of rural Carter County.
Edward and Paul Isaacs, born at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in the bustling depot village known as Hitchins, Kentucky, at the close of the Depression period. Times were hard. The hills and hollers were the young boys' playground. Edward and his brother, Paul, were dreamers, both failing in school. Seeking adventure and success, they left home at an early age, Paul at thirteen, then Edward followed later at the age of fifteen. They set out on adventures reminiscent of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Luck is when opportunity meets preparation and determination. With the right timing seizing an opportunity, they found success in an unlikely city when they became associated with a giant corporation and incredibly influential people—a far cry from their birthplace, achieving success beyond their wildest dreams, only to be torn apart by a scheming, malevolent outsider.
Published by Page Publishing, Edward W. Isaacs's engrossing book is an entertaining work based on the eventful lives of two brothers from the hills of eastern Kentucky.
