When Tricia meets people they are often immediately intrigued simply by the sound of her voice. It is not often one will meet a woman of Asian descent with a genuine southern accent. Fascinated, they ask how she came to be. If only the answer to their question were quite as simple. Her story is one filled with twists and turns, it is a story of perpetual abandonment, endless disappointment, and cyclical loss; one might even say it is so fanastic it hardly seems believable. When she reveals the horrific and heartbreaking details of her background, they become astounded by how she lives life so happily and they ask to know her secret. Owning all of her mistakes and embarrassments, from her stint as an alcoholic and drug abuser in her early twenties, to the failed, toxic relationships she endured because she thought she had to, Tricia shares her story in a raw, honest semi-memoir, How to Hate Less, Date Better, and Love Always. She explores her past and shares her antidotes on how anyone can overcome obstacles to find love and happiness on their own terms.
