TERINSPIRASI DARI KISAH NYATA Kisah anak sopir angkot dari Kota Batu yang menjadi direktur di New York City Bapakku, sopir angkot yang tak bisa mengingat tanggal lahirnya. Dia hanya mengecap pendidikan sampai kelas 2 SMP. Sementara ibuku, tidak bisa menyelesaikan sekolahnya di SD. Dia cermin kesederhanaan yang sempurna. Empat saudara perempuanku adalah empat pilar kokoh. Di tengah kesulitan, kami hanya bisa bermain dengan buku pelajaran dan mencari tambahan uang dengan berjualan pada saat bulan puasa, mengecat boneka kayu di wirausaha kecil dekat rumah, atau membantu tetangga berdagang di pasar sayur. Pendidikanlah yang kemudian membentangkan jalan keluar dari penderitaan. Cinta keluargalah yang akhirnya menyelamatkan semuanya.
