John and Helen Koh and their three children \u2013 Bo, DH and Mido \u2013 are building new lives in Korea
\nwhen they find their worlds upended, first by a terrible betrayal and then by the 1997 Asian financial
\ncrisis. Striving to regain their footing, the Kohs set out to do whatever it takes to provide for their
\nchildren\u2019s futures. They leave Seoul for Sydney and eventually settle in California, where new
\nopportunities open for the Koh children, as the parents, strangers in a strange land, adjust to a difficult existence in which their qualifications mean little. Their way forward is lit by the faith that education will lead the next generation to the success and security that have eluded their parents.<\/p>\n
The Kohs, their friends, relatives and even their foes move in and out of each other\u2019s lives as they
\nnavigate love, work, fortune and fulfilment across the years. But with each new sacrifice and fresh
\nhorizon, larger questions begin to open up before them: what are we willing to give up to secure the
\nhappiness of the ones we love? What is the purpose of education? And what is truly important for a
\ngood life?<\/p>\n
