Jende Jonga can hardly believe it when he lands a job as chauffeur for Clark Edwards, a senior executive at the Lehman Brothers. But, just as Jenga and his wife are finally able to picture a better life for themselves and their son, the financial world is rocked by the collapse of the Lehman Brothers. As their lives are dramatically upended, the Jongas are forced to make an impossible choice. Winner of the 2017 Pen/Faulkner Award.
