The New York Times Book ReviewA hard-hitting and hilarious memoir of ambition, desperation, and the dark side of gritGrowing up in a house filled with dirty feather boas and fearless mice, Emi Nietfeld dreams of escaping to the Ivy League. Emis single mom believes in her, but cant stop hoardingcatapulting Emi into the underworld of troubled teen treatment, foster care, and homelessness. When her shot arrives to trade sleeping in her car for the hallowed halls of an elite college, Emi must decide: How far will she go to market herself as a perfect overcomer when her problems are far from over? And what will it cost to maintain that illusion at Harvard and into adulthood?From journalist, mental health advocate, and software engineer Emi Nietfeld, this searing coming-of-age story is both a chronicle of the American Dream and an indictment of it.

The New York Times Book ReviewA luminous, generation-defining memoir of foster care and homelessness, Harvard and Big Tech, examining societys fixation with resilienceand its costAs a homeless teenager writing college essays in her rusty Toyota Corolla, Emi Nietfeld was convinced that the Ivy League was the only escape from her dysfunctional childhood. But upward mobility required crafting the perfect resilience narrative. She had to prove that she was an overcomer, made stronger by all that she had endured.The truth was more complicated. Emis mom was a charming hoarder who had her put on antipsychotics but believed in her daughters brillianceunlike the Minnesotan foster family who banned her pornographic art history flash cards (of Michelangelos David). Emis other parent vanished shortly after coming out as trans, a situation few understood in the mid-2000s. Her own past was filled with secrets: mental health struggles, Adderall addiction, and the unbecoming desperation of a teenager fending for herself. And though Emi would go on to graduate from Harvard and become a software engineer at Google, she found that success didnt necessarily mean safety.Both a chronicle of the American Dream and an indictment of it, this searing debut exposes the price of trading a troubled past for the promise of a bright future. Told with a ribbon of dark humor, Acceptance challenges our ideas of what it means to overcomeand find contentment on your own terms....9780593587157_Penguin Random House Audio Publishing Groupaudiolibro_ac181ffc-a035-3992-8747-8b66cb43bed7_9780593587157;9780593587157_9780593587157Emi NietfeldInglésMéxicoNoMINUTE2022-08-02T00:00:00+00:00Penguin Random House Audio Publishing Group
