Biography: business & industry; Biography: science, technology & engineering
Behind every quiet stitch lies a story of betrayal, grit, and legal warfare.

This is the incredible true story of Elias Howe, the humble craftsman who invented the world's first practical sewing machine, only to watch his life's work be stolen. Battling sickness, poverty, and a flamboyant rival named Isaac Singer, Howe waged a decade-long legal war that would make him a millionaire and forever change American industry and patent law.

More than a tale of a revolutionary machine, this is the powerful journey of a man who fought for his legacy-a struggle that proved true genius is found not in fame, but in the fierce defense of an idea.

Born and raised in a small town on the east coast of Scotland, the author brings a unique and refreshing voice to his writing. A late-in-life diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome illuminated his lifelong journey, giving him a deeper understanding of the distinct way he sees the world. Describing himself as an optimist on a mission to entertain and inform, he aims to take the reader's imagination to its limits and deliver a truly unforgettable experience.
