From the former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, an inspirational

memoir

of family, hope, and the power of the

American Dream.

Decades before their daughter surprised the nation by becoming

governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley's parents had a dream. Ajit and

Raj Randhawa were well-educated, well-off Sikhs in the Punjab region of

India. But despite their high social status, the Randhawas wanted more

for their family-the opportunities that only America could offer.

So they left behind all they had known and settled in Bamberg, South

Carolina (population- 2,500). As the first Indian family in a small

Southern town in the early 1970s, the Randhawas faced ignorance,

prejudice, and sometimes blatant hostility.

But the Randhawas taught their children that they should never think of themselves as victims. They stressed that if you work hard and stay true to yourself, you can overcome any obstacle. The key is believing that can't is not an option.

Haley's story, as told firsthand in this inspiring memoir, is a testament to the power of determination, faith, and family. And it's proof that the American Dream is still strong and true in the twenty- first century.
