It’s 2008, the post 9/11 internet era. Millennial Ralph arrives in America seeking to obtain a degree and a shot at the American dream. Contrary to expectations he encounters the travails of a country steeped in recession; the economy anemic and opportunity sparse. Deeply committed to a culture of hard work and lofty achievements, Ralph refuses to surrender to the circumstances of fate. His unmitigated quest for success and achievement takes him down a long, dreary path of back-breaking toil, stupendous innovation, profound self-development and disappointing love affairs. Bearing all this hardship of life by himself metamorphoses the person in him into a resilient personality unmoved by the massive ups and downs of life. 

This book resonates the thoughts, feelings and aspirations of the hundreds of thousands of students that come to the US to study and make their career and financial dreams come true. It reflects their daily challenges and profound struggles to find identity and success in a melting pot of perennial change.
