Testimonials
Amazing book, the ups and downs of someone who perseveres through life, goes through many struggles, and finds a way to get to America to pursue her dreams, Dr. Joy Kong, is exactly what the dream is all about. This should become a major motion picture one day, with academy awards handed out! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read about life, struggles, never giving up, and remembering to pay it back in kinde ways to those who have been there supporting along the way! 5 stars out of 5!
What a story! I’m truly blown away and am so inspired by Dr Joy’s persistence, creativity, ambition, and fearlessness. Her will to succeed is unstoppable and it’s allowed her to accomplish incredible things. This story invoked so many emotions; it’s the perfect example of “where there’s a will there’s a way”.
Great story! intriguing Inspirational. Excited to read about how Dr. Kong overcame adversity and become stronger for it. I learned from Googling her that she is extremely active in being a contributor to a better world. For example, being awarded the designation as Top Doctor in Stem Cell Therapy shows she is positively leading the charge to grow an exciting new industry.. I purchased the hardback. Glad I put it on the bookshelf because two visiting guests from outside the US have already read it – and enjoyed it tremendously! I encourage Dr. Kong to write another book that continues on from where she left off in this book.
A fantastic memoir from a very brilliant and accomplished woman. The book is beautifully put together and the delivery was prompt.
As you read the book, you really get a sense of adventure. Going on the journey with Joy, you get to share her emotions as her life goes through swinging highs and lows, until ultimately…. the TIGER comes out on top!!! I cannot wait for the next book! Well done, Doctor.
