In this heartfelt memoir, Ronald Mankoff reflects on a life shaped by family, resilience, and the principles that guided his career as a lawyer. Drawing inspiration from the IRS code term "carry forward"—a strategy for carrying deductions into future tax years—Mankoff weaves a metaphorical narrative about how values, traditions, and love transcend generations.
From his cherished childhood memories of a family-first upbringing to the professional triumphs and personal challenges that defined his journey, Mankoff offers readers a poignant exploration of how the past informs the future. Writing this book has been, in his words, “like a family reunion,” a celebration of the bonds that have shaped his life and continue to thrive through his sons and grandchildren.
