A Chinese-American woman breaks from the tradition of arranged marriage. An African-American teacher finds the color of her skin makes it hard to find a job. And a woman explores the familial feelings that surface when her brother dies in a car accident. (Correction: KALW News said Claressa Morrow's grandmother was brought to America as a slave. We meant great-grandmother.)

An 82-year-old man recalls his first arrest - at age 6. A 30-year teacher finds her bliss by teaching in the inner city. And a woman traces her older sister's mental illness.
