Ingrid Yung's life is full of firsts. A first-generation Chinese American, the first lawyer in her family, she's about to collect the holy grail of "firsts" and become the first minority woman to make partner at the venerable old law firm Parsons Valentine & Hunt.
Ingrid has perfected the art of "passing" and seamlessly blends into the old-boy corporate culture. She gamely banters in the corporate cafeteria, plays in the firm softball league, and earnestly racks up her billable hours. But when an offensive incident at the summer outing threatens the firm's reputation, Ingrid's outsider status is suddenly thrown into sharp relief. Scrambling to do damage control, Parsons Valentine announces a new Diversity and Inclusion Initiative, commanding Ingrid to spearhead the effort. Only she's about to close an enormous transaction that was to be her final step in securing partnership.
For the first time, Ingrid must question her place in the firm. Pitted against her colleagues, including her golden-boy boyfriend, Ingrid begins to wonder whether the prestige of partnership is worth breaching her ethics. But can she risk throwing away the American dream that is finally within her reach?

      Catherine Ho delivers the voice of Ingrid Yung, a Chinese-American feminist for our times, whose story includes a twist on breaking the glass ceiling. Ingrid's minority identity becomes an integral part of her climb up the corporate ladder. Ho is a confident, easy-on-the-ears narrator. Her casual style makes the pithy chapters fly by. We sympathize with Ingrid, who is being pulled in different directions by her ambition and her organization's politics. Will she become a full partner at the prestigious law firm she has worked so hard for? Or will her ambition be sidelined by a PR stunt that tokenizes her in order to minimize the firm's recent blunder in political correctness? Ho is a talented narrator who makes this a riveting listening experience. M.R. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
