The Gift Of Ah Marr

Summary: Truly Inspirational !
Review: Born in China in 1927, Rose felt, from an early age, enormous burden of responsibility, but she always seemed to know what she had to do. The spunky Rose chose the path of most resistance and continued with tremendous courage, hope, and determination on that journey against all odds. In 1949, as the communists approached Shanghai in China's civil war, Rose escaped on the last flights out of Shanghai to Hong Kong, then to the US. As her American-educated scholar father and her very religious mother suffered under the communist China, the young Rose struggled alone through financial hardship, racial and gender discrimination in the foreign America. She eventually earned both PhD and MD degrees with honors and made significant contributions to the fields of medicine and science. Throughout the book, Rose examplified passion and devotion for whatever she does and of self-less love and sacrifice for her family. This memoir reminds us that perseverance will lead to the light at the end of the tunnel. Rose's life inspires each of us to set higher standards for ourselves. Overall, vivid, captivating, and well written.
