About the Author

Growing up fatherless in poverty-stricken Cambodia, as a child I was responsible for gathering my own food. During my adolescence, life wasn't any easier, and I endured physical and emotional abuse by the person I loved and respected the most, my mother. Following that trauma, I then experienced the horror of being raped, and when I thought I'd overcome that nightmare, my boss then sold me as part of the sex slave trade. Rather than cave within my environment, I had realistic optimism that everything I dreamed of was possible. Within that framework of optimism, I learned English, made it to America, attained an education, and even fell in love, before starting a successful business in Beverly Hills, California.
