Summary
Charles Flavelle led Purdys Chocolatier to national prominence. But it was his personal memoir — curious, thoughtful, and lovingly told — that became the real family heirloom. A Life with a View explores legacy beyond business, weaving memory, gratitude, and loss into a story for future generations.
One book for your business. One for your family. One story told two ways.
If you liked this story, you’ll love these. Whether you’re an owner or founder who has built a company worth remembering — and a life worth exploring — we can help you capture both.
