About this product

Product Information

Now American after growing up in West Africa, Bo Jaye - the main character, reflects on this experience to his future son zooming in on the decade long stretch in America and the two decades prior 5000 miles away, leading up to his present role in state government regulating an industry that touches thousands of families every year, that may now include his following a recent trip to Abidjan. Bo's thoughts on current affairs - politics, economy, immigration, and the twenty first century are included. A few questions that the book's narrative tries to answer: 1) What would you do if you have a once in a blue moon chance to be American, and it almost slipped away? 2) Would you work at a company if you didn't get a paycheck for two months - what about five? 3) If you're allergic to syringe needles, but had to take one as the only option to feel better, will you follow the nurse's order? 4) Does race matter in American life, and should it? 5) Do you think China will be the world's economic superpower by mid-century? 6) Do you recall why you voted for Obama in 2008? 7) How to be an engineer and a funeral service regulator: an introduction ? 8) Your religion versus state law, choose one?
