June Book Discussion: Odyssey of High Hopes

Hi everyone! Let's read an autobiography for the month of June.

Summary:
Cyrus A. Ansary's Odyssey of High Hopes is an exquisitely written memoir about a boy's harrowing, captivating, and sometimes funny rollercoaster ride across the slopes of the American dream.

From the dark and crime-infested tenements of South Tehran to the pinnacle of global finance is the inspiring story of a skinny teenager's hell-for-leather determination to rise above poverty and obscurity to secure a coveted American education.

A former Marine and Columbia Law School graduate, Cyrus A. Ansary tells a searing and deeply moving narrative about the struggle for survival in America. Shining a light on the challenges of the young, the memoir is a heartwarming and thought-provoking perspective on their hardships.
