My Impossible Life

A no-holds-barred memoir of a Chinese woman born in Hong Kong under British colonial rule, nurtured and groomed in the 1950’s and 1960’s in that unique, bi-cultural society, came of age as a lesbian-feminist in New York City while an undergraduate at Barnard College in the 1970’s, and proceeded to attain graduate and professional degrees as a foreign student in America. While practicing as a young attorney in Michigan in the early 1980’s, she gained infamy as the Chin Case lawyer, while overcoming multiple serious health challenges in the 1980’s and 1990’s. In the early 2000’s, at the prime of her life and professional career, she became a paraplegic after a non-elective spinal cord surgery. Her life thus unwittingly detoured onto a spiritual and healing journey of karmic life lessons and miraculous grace, an odyssey that is still unfolding and evolving twelve-plus years hence.
