This book is a true story of our family history and heritage and tells how members of our family survived and succeeded in spite of the odds. Highlights of each of my 10 siblings are shared. This story is also about Detroit history. Learn about William Koerber as he opens several breweries, then closes them. Why would he do that?

Learn of his devastating hoof-and-mouth disease. Hear how the family helped make Detroit beautiful and made a positive impact on the city. Realize they were givers. Then through it all, terrible trouble was brewing. The changes faced by the city were many and poor decisions were made. Those decisions greatly impacted its residents and Grayhaven properties.
