This millennial bildungsroman follows Elena’s journey in the SF Bay Area from an idealistic Teach for America teacher to a disillusioned project manager at a tech company.

About Noa Silver: Noa Silver was born in Jerusalem and raised between Scotland and Maine. After receiving her BA in English and American literature and language from Harvard University, Noa lived and taught English as a Second Language on Namdrik—part of the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the smallest inhabited atoll in the world.
She later completed her MFA in creative writing from San Francisco State University and then worked as an editor on various oral history projects, ranging from an archive documenting the Partition of India and Pakistan to a cancer researcher telling the stories of trauma experienced by cancer survivors.
Noa lives in Berkeley, California, with her husband, Jack, and their two daughters, Alma and Leila.
