Advocate by Eddie Ahn

Eddie’s parents always wanted him to be successful, but their idea of success — a job that pays a lot of money — does not mesh with his, which involves devoting his legal career to fighting for environmental justice (which, by the way, does NOT pay a lot of money). This acclaimed memoir follows Eddie through the challenges of being a Korean American lawyer struggling to live up to multiple sets of expectations.
