BOOK DESCRIPTION
A quintessential American dream story of a Mexican entrepreneur who shares the story of building a multi-million dollar business from scratch, with both success and failure, and always a vision of 'hope. Leal arrived in the United States penniless as a teenager, speaking almost no English; he literally slept in the boiler room of a Wisconsin cheese factory for months before being arrested. Through his hard work, courage and ingenuity, Leal would start his own business. He is widely credited with introducing Mexican cheeses to the American market and building his company into a multimillion-dollar success story that defined an entire industry. Yet, like many successful entrepreneurs, Leal's great successes were accompanied by personal failures: the end of a marriage; problems with law enforcement; and the deeply felt sense that there must be something more to life than great wealth. Leal's memoir, The House that Cheese Built, is both a quintessential immigrant success story – one that beautifully illustrates the experiences of immigrants: isolation, fear and ambition for a better life and assimilation – as well as a thoughtful personal account of entrepreneurship and all its implications. benefits and costs.
