The life story of Wendy Wong-- from a childhood of abject poverty in Hong Kong to amazing success as a businesswoman with property in both Hong Kong and Honolulu.

Despite growing up in a windowless space behind a factory in Hong Kong, Wendy Wong was determined to succeed. Not only would she get her college degree in Hong Kong, but she would get more education in Hawaii. Thanks to the mentoring of a wealthy Hawaiian real estate tycoon (and her lover), she became a wealthy businesswoman.

Her memoir describes the ups and downs of handling life as a mother, wife, and astute businesswoman. Her son is quite intelligent but her daughter is born with mental challenges. Nevertheless, her life is an exciting one of travel, romance and drama and she describes it all.

At the end of the book, she shares of unique views from her perspective as a Chinese businesswoman in the 21st century and gives insights on the Chinese character.
