The Golden Road: Notes on My Gentrification by Caille Millner is a memoir of the author's childhood in a Latino neighborhood in San Jose, California, and coming of age in a more affluent yet quietly hostile Silicon Valley suburb to a succession of imagined promised lands-Harvard, London, post-apartheid South Africa, New York City.

This is a very interesting book. The writing is quite personal and explores many conflicting issues of the author as she transitioned from a young adult to adult.
I am not sure it is right for the Campus Reading Program as it has a somewhat narrow appeal.
