When Crystal decided to start her own business making the bars, at first she wondered if she'd bitten off more than she could chew. Could she find a way to get her chocolate empire off the ground? While some creative liberty has been taken in the storytelling, Crystal's adventures as a female entrepreneur are true, and readers of all ages will be inspired at her courage and creative journey as a chocolatier.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original Cuban Lunch chocolate bar was manufactured in Canada in the 1880s but became unavailable in 1991, and then available again in limited quantities once Crystal Westergaard began producing the bars in 2017. When she decided to turn her happy memories of sharing a favourite chocolate bar with her mother into a full fledged business, lots of people said it couldn't be done. But eventually this Canadian entrepreneur made thousands of bars, selling them all across Western Canada. What was the best part? Hearing the memories that eating the chocolate treat inspired in her customers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(136, 194, 96);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHEMES IN THIS BOOK…\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eperseverance –  problem-solving –  family – mother-daughter relationships  –  Canadian food industry  –  chocolate bar production\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(136, 194, 96);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWHY DO YOU NEED THIS BOOK?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• A sweet story of the love between family members\u003cbr\u003e• A glimpse into Western Canada's food industry, now and in the past\u003cbr\u003e• A spotlight on Canadian businesswomen and their contributions to the nation\u003cbr\u003e• An inspiration to never give up on your goals\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50298927350117,"sku":null,"price":16.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0854\/4541\/1173\/files\/newwebsiteauthors_7287b77c-45dc-469f-b507-89430d5d06bf.png?v=1787750950"}],"url":"https:\/\/dc-canada.ca\/collections\/bev-books.oembed","provider":"DC Canada Education Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
