A GREAT COUNTRY - SHILPI SOMAYA GOWDA GEBUNDEN

Pacific Hills  California: Gated communities  ocean views  well-tended lawns  serene pools  and
now the new home of the Shah family. For the Shah parents  who came to America twenty years
earlier with little more than an education and their new marriage  this move represents the
culmination of years of hard work and dreaming. For their children  born and raised in America
success is not so simple. For the most part  these differences among the five members of the
Shah family are minor irritants  arguments between parents and children  older and younger
siblings. But one Saturday night  the twelve-year-old son is arrested. The fallout from that
event will shake each family member's perception of themselves as individuals  as community
members  as Americans  and will lead each to consider: how do we define success? At what cost
comes ambition? And what is our role and responsibility in the cultural mosaic of modern
America?--
