520    From the New York Times bestselling author of I Can't Date
       Jesus, which Vogue called "a piece of personal and 
       cultural storytelling that is as fun as it is illuminating,
       " comes a wry and insightful essay collection that 
       explores the financial and emotional cost of chasing your 
       dreams. Ever since Oprah Winfrey told the 2007 graduating 
       class of Howard University, "Don't be afraid," Michael 
       Arceneaux has been scared to death. You should never do 
       the opposite of what Oprah instructs you to do, but when 
       you don't have her pocket change, how can you not be 
       terrified of the consequences of pursuing your dreams? 
       Michael has never shied away from discussing his struggles
       with debt, but in I Don't Want to Die Poor, he reveals the
       extent to which it has an impact on every facet of his 
       life-how he dates; how he seeks medical care (or in some 
       cases, is unable to); how he wrestles with the question of
       whether or not he should have chosen a more financially 
       secure path; and finally, how he has dealt with his 
       "dream" turning into an ongoing nightmare as he realizes 
       one bad decision could unravel all that he's earned. I 
       Don't Want to Die Poor is an unforgettable and relatable 
       examination about what it's like leading a life that often
       feels out of your control. But in Michael's voice that's 
       "as joyful as he is shrewd" (BuzzFeed), these razor-sharp 
       essays will still manage to make you laugh and remind you 
       that you're not alone in this often intimidating journey.
