Casey Han's Ivy League degree hasn't given her the means to sustain her expensive tastes. As she drifts through Manhattan, we see her life intertwine with the lives of those around her - from her struggling immigrant parents to the city's elite. This sweeping debut novel paints a vivid portrait of the complex, sometimes clashing identities we inhabit. At its heart, Free Food for Millionaires is a story about holding onto one's sense of self in the face of change.
