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 "e;foreign student"e; in America. While practicing as a young attorney in Michigan in the early 1980's, she gained infamy as "e;the Chin Case lawyer,"e; 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.
