The Shape of My Eyes

A touching, humorous account of the author’s cultural reckoning with his Korean heritage and hidden family secrets.

The Shape of My Eyes beautifully weaves historic reference points of the oppression and discrimination against Asian Americans with Dave’s own personal story. Dave’s wrestling with belonging in his family, in America, and the church creates a raw, thought-provoking memoir about race, religion, and finding home.

Benefits of Joining

By joining the Amplify Team, you're not just promoting a book—you're advocating for a deeper understanding of cultural identity and personal history. Help us amplify the voice of someone who's navigated the complexities of a mixed heritage in a polarized world.

  • Early access to the e-book three weeks before release

  • Exclusive behind-the-scenes info on what publishing a book looks like

  • Weekly live streams where we’ll be discussing the book together

Additionally, have the chance to win weekly giveaways such as popular Korean snack boxes, Korean skincare boxes, an invitation to a special launch party in Los Angeles, a dinner at my favorite KBBQ in Irvine, CA, and a 1-hour FLOW consult with me.

DAVE GIBBONS:

“The way I saw life as a child would soon change. The challenge wouldn't be my language, dialect, my ability to understand idioms or play sports. It came down to the shape of my eyes.”

What to Expect

When you pre-order the book and join, the publisher will send you an advanced digital copy of the book.

We'll also invite you to a private Instagram channel where everyone can connect, and I'll be hopping on regularly for weekly livestreams, questions, and more so I can help you take that next step up.

​

Once you fill out the application form above, you'll get a confirmation email. If you have any trouble, you can reach out to our launch team coordinator, Katie Norris: katie.norris@hbgusa.com.
