We often hear stereotypes associated with strict Asian parenting, and yet, although the accreditations on paper are known to many, still we find ourselves wondering, But at what costs? Secrets of a Fortune Cookie: A Memoir describes the harrowing journey of author Vanessa Yang, a young woman of Chinese descent, who was born in Singapore and educated in schools across the globe. She experienced a traditional Asian-style upbringing, with no consideration to social development. As a strictly raised Chinese Singaporean expatriate student in international schools, she was also influenced by her friends and peersand their Western ideals. Her mothers relentless Eastern upbringing, dominated by an isolated focus on academics alone, was not a productive fit to a teenagers growing desires to fit in and find encouragement and love. These disparate experiences and lifestyles were the seeds of her vicious teen rebellion against everything her parents honored, and it was these acts of defiance that ultimately climaxed her insecurities. Satirically funny and heartrending by turns, her story of independent self-discovery brings to light, the aptly pondered detriments of the causes and consequences of stereotypical Asian-style parenting. In the end, the clash of cultures she and her sisters faced drove her to resort to drastic measures in order to find the love and confidence she never received at home. A remarkable memoir with valuable life lessons, Secrets of a Fortune Cookie offers an inspiring look at a young womans turbulent past.

At the end of their meal, as usual, every person at the table was handed a fortune cookie....BUT... The fortune cookie that was handed to each of them was DIFFERENT. From nowhere appeared a short, fat man wearing a colorful gown that fl owed to the fl oor. On his face were huge sunglasses that covered the single eye located in the middle of his forehead. After the two of them read their unusual fortunes, a shocking chain of events were to follow that would instantly force them together and unveil hidden secrets from the past. Together, they found it necessary to take a parlous journey across the storm-ridden United States...and back again revealing hidden mysteries from the past. They not only found love for one another but just what part in their lives the strange little one-eyed may actually played in their fortunes.
