Switzerland

In twenty-five years, author of this book went from being practically homeless to holding the extraordinary Entrepreneur of the Year award, leading companies in 12 countries and rubbing shoulders with presidents.

One day it all implodes as Peter becomes the victim of political schemes and a bitter betrayal that leaves him and his family penniless, struggling at the edge of an abyss. With his steadfast wife Evie, through every circle of hell they must pass through, he drove their old car toward one last hope: Switzerland. The land where salaries reach as high as the Matterhorn and an enterprising person can find more second chances than holes in a wheel of Swiss cheese.

Yet their dream of salvation shatters on arrival. Instead of the financial St. Bernard they desperately seek to rescue them in this Alpine heaven, they endure one setback after another: toiling on a horse farm from dawn to evening for pocket change; begging for a dishwasher job at a St. Moritz luxury hotel where they were once a welcomed VIP guests; they will survive the suffering in the "green hell" of a vegetable farm among inhumane conditions, with meals so meager that malnutrition is a constant danger.

But this isn't just a tale of hardship. It's a story of resilience, of how someone can tumble from the very top of the world and then relentlessly battle all forces to claw their way back up. Watch as Peter and Eva slowly climb out of the pit into which they have fallen. Fueled by an unbreakable will and an undying love, this narrative is a testament to the power of hope.

With a sharp and dark humor that never undercuts nor overshadows the heart that pulses behind every line, the author uncovers the limits where the Swiss dream turns into a nightmare. In this raw exposé of the purgatory of Switzerland's job market for outsiders, where reality crushes every ambition and desire, he pushes into the light its dark underbelly, alongside the surprisingly bright and pure soul of the ordinary people of this Alpine nation.

Join the author on his journey, taking you from one dazzling adventure to another, to hopeless misery and back again to bittersweet glory. Discover the price of success and witness the spirit of a husband and wife whose devotion to one another keeps them fighting onward, determined to never surrender.
