Summary:
"Born in Texas to Korean immigrants, Eddie Ahn grew up with the expectation to pay off his parents' sacrifice by achieving the "American Dream." Years later, after moving to San Francisco and earning a coveted law degree, he rejects a lucrative legal career to enter the nonprofit world, igniting a struggle between family obligations, professional goals, and dreams of community. Working at a nonprofit, Eddie confronts environmental catastrophes, an accellerating tide of racial prejudice and economic inequality, and burnout. Yet, he also finds moments of hope, and learns the balance of living a meaningful life and an empowered one in the process."-- Publisher.
