"Aprendí a nunca permitir que me dijeran que no se podía hacer. Recuerden que mientras que tengan corazón, siempre tendrán la posibilidad de obtener el éxito." Estas son las palabras de Roberto Renteria quien es el Vice-presidente y Funcionario Ejecutivo Principal de Wash Pro USA, pero quien durante su infancia durmió en una cajonera en un apartamento en East Los Ángeles demasiado pequeño para su familia. Este es un hombre que ha dedicado su vida para ayudar a los que han necesitado una oportunidad; extendiendo su mano para enseñarles como salir de los barrios y como romper el ciclo de la pobreza. Este libro es su modo de extender su mano a los demás. Con consejos astutos y pragmáticos enlazados en una historia inspiradora y emocionante aprendemos de su camino desde el barrio al éxito.
