About this audiobook
Three years after moving to Chicago with two suitcases and a graduate degree I could not afford, I began to understand that cities do not break you all at once. They do it quietly, in rent increases, in subway delays, in the silence of neighbors who do not know your name. This is the story of how ambition hardened into survival, and how survival reshaped who I thought I was.
