| Summary |
Palo Alto, California, is home to stratospheric real estate prices and equally high expectations, a place where everyone has to be good at something and where success is often defined by the name of a prestigious college on the back of a late-model luxury car. It's also the place where Irena Smith-Soviet émigré, PhD in comparative literature, former Stanford admission reader-works as a private college counselor to some of the country's most ambitious and tightly wound students . . . even as, at home, her own children unravel. Narrated as a series of responses to college application essay prompts, The Golden Ticket combines sharp social commentary, family history, and the lessons of great (and not so great) literature to offer a broader, more generous vision of what it means to succeed. |
