Cody Quan achieved the model minority dream. In his early twenties, he had his own house, a decently paying job and a clean record. But through the insistence of a new intern named Mindy, he took a bold first step into breaking out of his comfort zone. With a style that invokes wit, charm, honesty and sarcasm, new author Louis Leung details the plight of a modern-day Asian-American male who struggles through faith, love, social stigmas and being his own person. The first act of Cody Quan breaks the illusions of what Cody thought to be the perfect life and details the complex relationships of race, religion and the American Dream.
