Tali Nay's fourth memoir takes you to New York City, a place to which she moved in order to pursue her dream of becoming a gemologist. From her study of gems to her love of city sweets to her disgruntled, cat-hating neighbor, you'll root for her every step of the way. Newbie is not just a book about city life and what it takes for a small-town girl to adjust. It's also a book about lifelong dreams and what can happen when we conquer risk and fear and doubt in our quest to achieve them.
