Acquisition
Despite his selfish attempt to save it, Dynacom, the sole focus of CEO Wilson McCann’s life, has been acquired. A bitterly disillusioned McCann rescues his dead uncle’s debt-ridden farm and returns to the Michigan town where he spent his youthful summers.
Looking for a new purpose in his life, he meets three women from his past who want to be part of his future. Each has a decidedly different objective. Past associates seek to draw him back into the telecommunications industry while new friends encourage him to find God’s plan.
When he becomes involved in an acquisition plan that would restore him to a CEO position, mysterious activities by Michigan’s Governor may turn the acquisition into a disaster. As he seeks to regain what he lost, McCann faces a series of tragedies that drive him to his knees. He makes his greatest acquisition and the opportunities for his future collide with the results of his past.
Acquisition is a provocative story of one man’s search for meaning in life amidst the fast-paced world of telecommunications acquisitions filled with a tapestry of colorful characters from a small Michigan farming community and the financial centers of the country.
