Reviews
"Foster care, psych wards, and antipsychotic medication all fail a heroine who slips through every crack. From the first, we know that Emi Nietfeld eventually finds her way through soul-crushing circumstances. But how? There is rowing, computer code, and the sacraments of Harvard. Then, there's doing the detective work to confront your demons. Acceptance is an engrossing, affirming story of human resilience, with the pacing of a thriller." --Sherry Turkle, MIT professor, author of Reclaiming Conversation and The Empathy Diaries: A Memoir "A remarkable chronicle of one girl's adolescence and the ways the nation's institutions, public and private, failed to protect her, Acceptance is a page-turner that is both wrenching and necessary. Emi Nietfeld illuminates our culture's obsession with a precise form of vulnerability, which is racialized, blameless, and which no actual child can ever offer--and now in the first decade of her adulthood, she gives a sharp and moving report on a landscape that few teenagers survive with their voices intact. I read with my heart in my throat." --Lacy Crawford, author of Notes on a Silencing, "Heart-pounding. . . . Nietfeld's raw resilience and candor will keep readers enthralled until the very last page. This hits hard." -- Publishers Weekly "A complex meditation on desperation, leveraging personal pain, and how the drive to achieve can be a gift and a pathology simultaneously. . . . A powerful memoir of overcoming adversity that also effectively interrogates the concept of meritocracy." -- Kirkus (starred review) "From the blind spots of the foster care system to the ivied walls of Harvard Yard, Acceptance offers an intimate and eye-opening look at the stark reality that belies the myth of meritocracy and the American Dream. In spare prose, Emi Nietfeld shows that, more than elite credentials and material wealth, transcending adversity comes down to the stories we choose to tell. I couldn't put it down." --Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country "Wrenching , page-turning, and alive with dark humor, Acceptance illuminates our society's obsession with precise forms of vulnerability--racialized, blameless, and impossible for any real child to deliver. Now in the first decade of her adulthood, Emi Nietfeld gives a sharp and ultimately triumphant report on a landscape that few teenagers survive with their voices intact. I read with my heart in my throat." --Lacy Crawford, author of Notes on a Silencing "Foster care, psych wards, and antipsychotic medication all fail a heroine who slips through every crack.

Acceptance is an engrossing, affirming story of human resilience, with the pacing of a thriller." --Sherry Turkle, MIT professor, author of Reclaiming Conversation and The Empathy Diaries: A Memoir "In a voice marked by both keen insight and emotional force, Nietfeld's Acceptance traces the narrator's hellbent journey up and out of her own origins, revealing in the process both the individual cost of chasing this particular American dream, and the tragic--almost pyrrhic--victory of 'success.' A powerful and compelling read." --Marya Hornbacher, New York Times bestselling author of Madness and Wasted, "Nietfeld's memoir offers an absorbing and clear-eyed view into her dysfunctional childhood--including living with her mother, who was a hoarder; navigating homelessness and foster care; and her own mental health struggles--and how she made her way out (for better or worse) onto the other side to achieve societal 'success.'" --The Millions' Most Anticipated, August "Heart-pounding. . . . Nietfeld's raw resilience and candor will keep readers enthralled until the very last page. This hits hard." -- Publishers Weekly "[Nietfeld's] impressive debut is a radical probe into our society's insistence on resiliency through unthinkable struggles, leading readers to reexamine long-held definitions of success." -- Booklist "In breaking from the Cinderella-story convention of social mobility memoirs, Acceptance achieves exceptional candor and beauty." -- The Cleveland Review of Books "From the blind spots of the foster care system to the ivied walls of Harvard Yard, Acceptance offers an intimate and eye-opening look at the stark reality that belies the myth of meritocracy and the American Dream. In spare prose, Emi Nietfeld shows that, more than elite credentials and material wealth, transcending adversity comes down to the stories we choose to tell. I couldn't put it down." --Qian Julie Wang, New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Country "A complex meditation on desperation, leveraging personal pain, and how the drive to achieve can be a gift and a pathology simultaneously. . . . A powerful memoir of overcoming adversity that also effectively interrogates the concept of meritocracy." -- Kirkus (starred review) "[A] captivating page-turner. . . . She expertly describes the determined mindset with which she tackled seemingly unrealistic goals while also battling almost impossible setbacks; readers will find themselves rooting for Nietfeld. . . . A gripping firsthand account of a teenager navigating homelessness and the foster care system. It should appeal to many and may be of particular interest to school counselors, foster parents, psychologists, social workers, and others who work with children in difficult situations." -- Library Journal "Wrenching , page-turning, and alive with dark humor, Acceptance illuminates our society's obsession with precise forms of vulnerability--racialized, blameless, and impossible for any real child to deliver.

Synopsis
"Nietfeld's gifts for capturing the fury of living at the mercy of bad circumstances, for critiquing the hero's journey even while she tells it, make Acceptance a remarkable memoir." -- The New York Times Book Review A hard-hitting and hilarious memoir of ambition, desperation, and the dark side of grit Growing up in a house filled with dirty feather boas and fearless mice, Emi Nietfeld dreams of escaping to the Ivy League. Emi's single mom believes in her, but can't stop hoarding--catapulting Emi into the underworld of troubled teen treatment, foster care, and homelessness. When her shot arrives to trade sleeping in her car for the hallowed halls of an elite college, Emi must decide: How far will she go to market herself as a perfect "overcomer" when her problems are far from over? And what will it cost to maintain that illusion at Harvard and into adulthood? From journalist, mental health advocate, and software engineer Emi Nietfeld, this searing coming-of-age story is both a chronicle of the American Dream and an indictment of it. Exposing the price of trading a troubled past for the promise of a bright future, Nietfeld explores whether any amount of success can make trauma worth it. With a ribbon of dark humor, Acceptance challenges our ideas of what it means to overcome--and live on your own terms.
