From Olive Roots to Maple Trees: George's Journey From Greek Soil to Canadian Success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781038354105)

George Theodorou was just fourteen years old when he defied his father's wishes and left his family in Greece to work at sea. After travelling the world on cargo ships, he began his mandatory service in the navy, a gruelling experience that built character and resilience.

In Toronto, he joined his sister as an immigrant, keen to make a place for himself in a new country. From humble beginnings scooping ice cream and assembling subs, George came to own a series of businesses himself, gaining friends, family, and wealth on the way.

Written by George's loving wife, Sue, From Olive Roots to Maple Trees is a tribute to hard work, integrity, and the lasting joy of marriage.
