Two hundred years later, it had become exactly what dreams become.Three brothers leave a poor Italian village with nothing but a trade between them. In the mines and back streets of a young America, one of them turns eleven repaired carts and ten horses into a business - and that business into a name.The Transportation Company follows six generations of the Catio family across two centuries, from immigrant poverty to the top of American industry. A widow turns lodging houses into a hotel empire. Sons quietly change their surname to hide what they own. A board discovers it is easier to expand than to explain. Each choice is small. Together they compound into something no single person decided to build.But the family's real inheritance was never the money. It is a habit of mind - the conviction that anything standing in the way of the next expansion is simply a problem to be solved. Every generation accepts that logic a little more completely than the last, until the people running the company can no longer tell the difference between what they have built and what they have allowed.By the time the Catio name reaches the height of its power, nations negotiate with it directly. And the question is no longer what the family is capable of building. It is what the family has already agreed to become.A sweeping multigenerational saga of immigration, ambition, and inheritance - for readers of dynasty novels, rise-and-fall family epics, and stories about the real cost of the American Dream.…
