&ldquo;From the blind spots of the foster care system to the ivied walls of Harvard Yard, Acceptance offers an intimate and eye-opening look at the stark reality that belies the myth of meritocracy and the American Dream. In spare prose, Emi Nietfeld shows that, more than elite credentials and material wealth, transcending adversity comes down to the stories we choose to tell.&rdquo; &mdash;Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country&ldquo;Foster care, psych wards, and antipsychotic medication all fail a heroine who slips through every crack. From the first, we know that Emi Nietfeld eventually finds her way through soul-crushing circumstances. But how? There is rowing, computer code, and the sacraments of Harvard. Then, there&rsquo;s&#160;doing the detective work to confront your demons. Acceptance is an engrossing, affirming story of human resilience, with the pacing of a thriller.&rdquo; &mdash;Sherry Turkle, MIT professor, author of Reclaiming Conversation and The Empathy Diaries: A Memoir&ldquo;A remarkable chronicle of one girl&rsquo;s adolescence and the ways the nation's institutions, public and private, failed to protect her, Acceptance is a page-turner that is both wrenching and necessary. Emi Nietfeld illuminates our culture&rsquo;s obsession with a precise form of vulnerability, which is racialized, blameless, and which no actual child can ever offer&mdash;and now in the first decade of her adulthood, she gives a sharp and moving report on a landscape that few teenagers survive with their voices intact. I read with my heart in my throat.&rdquo; &mdash;Lacy Crawford, author of Notes on a Silencing

When We Make It is an unforgettable debut.&rdquo;&mdash;Willie Perdomo, author of The Crazy Bunch
