Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When Giannis was six years old, he and his family began selling items on the street to help support their family. They would travel to beaches, especially upscale ones such as Alimos Beach, to pitch their goods. #2 In 1991, Charles and Veronica left Nigeria because of the country’s unstable politics and economy. They went to Germany, where Charles had the opportunity to play professional soccer, and then Greece, where they were granted asylum. Their four children were all given Greek first names. #3 Charles and Veronica were extremely close, and he always watched out for her, especially when it came to finding them places to live. They would usually have just enough money to keep the lights on, but sometimes they were forced to make difficult choices. #4 Giannis learned to be a persuasive street vendor. He knew how to turn on his charm and get people to like him. He learned that from his mother. They always found joy in each other.
