Darrell Gartrell's book discusses his life growing up in the poor section of Los Angeles and how his mother raised 5 little kids on welfare after his father passed away. The Watts Riots, Martin Luther King Assassination, and constant gang killings were all major influences (besides the neighborhood rent parties). After finishing night school, Darrell traveled 3rd class through Europe and discovered many things before his arrival in Japan. His twenty year Osaka journey was surprising as well as shocking in some ways. For anyone interested in how an entrepreneur grows a business in a foreign country, this book is an interesting and entertaining read.
