The Journey of an Operations Manager Who Brought Out The Genius In Everyone Around Her

The Backbone: Carly's Story

by Klark Brown

About The Book

The Backbone is a practical business fable about the person every growing company needs, but few appreciate or know what they might look like.

When Carly Mason is hired to help organize operations at Carter’s Restoration, she walks into a business running strong and surviving on sheer hustle. Admirable but not scalable. Without fanfare, she starts building systems, accountability, and structure, quietly becoming the one holding it all together.

Roadblocks and brick walls are encountered but conquered. No story exists without friction. None worth living anyway.

Set one year after Fork in the Road, this standalone story explores what happens when a company begins to grow, and what it takes to keep that growth from collapsing under its own weight.

Whether you’re a founder learning to delegate or the person behind the scenes making everything work, The Backbone is a reminder that leadership isn’t always exciting, rewarded, or seen, but the impact, if accepted, is felt from top to bottom.

Confidence, Clarity, Organization, and Tenacity are what is needed most and are exactly what Carly brought.
