Book summary: Jende Jonga, a Cameroonian immigrant, has come to New York to try to achieve the American Dream and provide for his family. In the fall of 2007, he can hardly believe his luck when he secures a chauffeur job for a senior executive at Lehman Brothers. However, the world of great power and privilege conceals troubling secrets.
