When Sunnys attempts to pull herself out of poverty lead to dire consequences for a fellow worker; she is forced to question the system shes spent her life trying to master ndash; and stand up against the powers that be. Savage; tragic and desperately funny; The World of Extreme Happiness is a stirring examination of a country in the midst of rapid change; and individuals struggling to shape their own destinies.This new edition is published to coincide with the US premiere of the play at the Goodman Theatre; Chicago; which then transfers to the Manhattan Theater Club; NYC.

This book is easy enough and gives me something fun to play besides the traditional folk music (which I also like) that most beginner books have to offer.
