| The Revelation of a Star's Endless Shine: A Young Woman's Autobiography of a 20-Year Tale of Trials & Tribulations is a book to be shared by readers of all ages. It describes the harsh cruel treatment and the trials Shirley Cheng had to go through in order to reach her goals in life. She had to work very hard to get the things she achieved, such as her grades or marks she received in school. Hers was a difficult climb up the ladder of success; because she found out at an early age, even before she attempted to walk, that something was uniquely different about her.
Right after Shirley, translation "snow pear", was born, her mother, Mrs. Juliet Cheng, predicted that her daughter "would be the fruit for them all, giving love and fulfillment even during the harshest winter." Little did she know how right her predictions were. (taken from p. 13.)
Shirley learned the hard way how indifferent some people could be when it came to the suffering of others. That did not deter her from reaching for the stars. Every day, no matter how she felt, she would try to smile. With her there was no such word as "quit."
Each time Shirley's mother had to take her to the hospital for some kind of treatment, she would always find a way to bounce back and be ready to go on with her life. Shirley showed great fortitude when it came to pain. Even though she had to fight an uphill battle for twenty years, her attitude was to try to see the good in others and never try to judge anyone in anything said or done.
This book will capture the heart of the reader and move you to tears as you travel down life's road with Shirley Cheng, a young author with a passion for life. Truly a star with endless shine. Well done, Shirley. | | |
