She was almost given away at birth. At twenty-six, she collected a Ph.D. from MIT. Neither fact fully explains her. What explains her is everything in between. What followed was not one dream but a career spanning consulting, venture capital, and technology, built across Singapore, Silicon Valley, and back again.
But the hardest questions were never professional. They were personal. How do you raise children while chasing a career at full speed? How do you know when to stay and when to go?
Honest, direct, and quietly inspiring, this memoir trades tidy conclusions for something more one woman's account of six decades spent building a life on her own terms.
Singapore Grit, American Dream is for anyone who has ever felt pulled between the life they were born into and the life they dared to imagine.
