They hold the hopes of their parents but are forging their own paths.
Will the connection between them survive challenge and adversity?

Wynson Tang refuses to be like his father. Struggling under the weight of patriarchal pressure, the first-generation Taiwanese American is grateful for his childhood friendship with two sisters. And though the sixteen-year-old has feelings for one of the girls, he won’t jeopardize their three-way bond.

Christa McMeri dreams of starring in the Olympics. Diagnosed as deaf when still a baby, the determined gymnast vows to one day win a gold medal – even if it means there’s no time for dating. But she’s unprepared for devastating news that could turn her hopes into a nightmare.

Despite his dad’s demands that he honor their culture and bloodline, Wynson believes he already found his soulmate in the third grade. But a floundering Christa finds herself at the brink of a shocking decision…

Can they rise above social and cultural expectations and find their way to happily ever after?

Beginning with a forbidden relationship between college students in Taiwan, award-winning author Eichin Chang-Lim deftly explores the strength of the human spirit through a compelling multi-generational family saga.

And when their son meets an American girl with disabilities fighting to be extraordinary, they may prove that the power of love endures.

Flipping is a multi-award-winning romance novel that highlights the power of love to move us forward, and the strength of the human spirit to overcome life's challenges. If you like sweeping stories, richly layered drama, and gut-wrenching journeys, then you’ll adore Eichin Chang-Lim’s enthralling account of intertwined hearts.

Dr. Eichin Chang-Lim is a semiretired optometrist, a multi-award-winning author, a wife, and a mother to 2 children. She and her husband had a private optometry practice in Los Angeles. They live in Orange County, California.

In a recent interview, the author said, “You might have noticed that romance and inspirational are my niche genres. I write romance because I find it to be an intriguing genre. Relationships are quite involved in real life. Therefore, I use romance to depict the intricacies of relationships. Ultimately, it evolves into an inspirational and thought-provoking tale. Readers will discover that I tend to tell love stories beyond the confines of romance. I strive to convey the kind of love that is much broader and more profound than romantic or physical love. I strongly believe that love is more than a four-letter word. It’s multidimensional. It involves sacrifice, forgiveness, trust, demoting one’s ego, or even ‘letting it go’ at times. I also like to encompass the love of friendship, family, and even little pets in my stories.”

“As a romance writer, I write with my heart and soul. My mindset is that if my story can make a difference in even one person’s life, it’s all worth it, and that’s what love is all about,” she added.

Eichin modeled during college in Taiwan and was in several short films, including a supporting role in the comedy Indy/feature film Winning Formula. She has written six books: FLIPPING: An Uplifting Novel of Love, A Mother’s Heart: Memoir of a Special Needs Parent, Love: A Tangled Knot, TheLoveLock, YOUR PRECIOUS SIGHT: An Optometrist’s Most Memorable Cases, and Ultimate Revenge.

During the preorder period, YOUR PRECIOUS SIGHT hit the #1 New Release in seven categories at least once: Optometry, Physician & Patient Diagnosis, Eye Problems, Reference, Preventive Medicine, Aging, and Ophthalmology.

Besides acting and writing, she loves opera and a big bear hug. Learn more about the author at www.eichinchanglim.com

This story threw me when suddenly Part 2 started and there were new characters and a new story. I guess I’m getting old and not paying enough attention. The thought ran through my head that this was a book of short stories. It is not. I may be old, but I’m not too old to know the difference between a so-so book and a great book. Flipping qualifies as a great book in my opinion.

So, what qualifies a book as a great book? First, is well-defined and likeable characters. Check! A situation that you can relate to. Check! Conflict, internal and external. Check! Suspense and mystery as to where the story is going and how fast it is getting there. Check! Surprise when things begin to tie together and make sense. Check! Hardship, struggle, perseverance, and you can’t leave out love. Check! Realism... everything doesn’t turn out for the best, but as in real life, things turn out as a mix of good and bad. Check! The author teaches you a few things. Check! And finally, the author can bring tears to your eyes. Check!

Flipping is a story of two families. JonSun, a farm boy, and SuAnn, from the upper class, fall in love and come to America to make a life for themselves. They have one son, Wynson. The McMeri family have a daughter Christa and a step-daughter Jadelynn. Wynson, Christa, and Jadelynn become best friends. Christa is a gymnast. I won’t spoil the story by going further. This is a heart-warming and well-written story. You’ll love it. Pick up your copy today. FYI, I found three errors, but nothing to seriously detract from my enjoyment of the story. In fact, I couldn’t put the book down, especially after the midway point. I had to see how everything was going to turn out.

Flipping lovely, a five star read.

Reviewed in Australia on 10 January 2017

Flipping' is about life's trials and the strength of the human spirit to overcome adversity. It is also about love in its many different forms. Eichin's characters fight against family prejudice, social disadvantage and illness, but the message is ultimately upbeat and uplifting. A box of tissues will come in handy. I thoroughly recommend this to all.

I loved every bit of this story!

Reviewed in the United States on 6 January 2024

“Flipping” is a heart-warming, poignant, and compelling tale of love, family dynamics, and challenges.
It begins with a couple who meet while attending college in Taiwan, Jonsun and SuAnn. The couple fall in love, but their situation seems to be hopeless; they belong to different classes, and in their society, traditions and class divisions are strictly observed.
Most of the book though, takes place in USA and follows two girls, Christa and her adopted sister, and their unique bond as they face Christa’s health challenges. Later, they meet Wynson, who becomes a close friend to both girls. But what will happen when Wynson declares romantic feelings for one of them?
I loved every bit of this story and highly recommend it!

Just a thought

A story of determination and love

Reviewed in the United States on 22 March 2024

Flipping is the story of two families and how they come together. JonSun and SuAnn leave their home in Taiwan, and settle in the United States, where they build a business and have a son, Wynson. Mitch and Elliana, an American couple, have two daughters, Christa and Jadelynn. The sisters are devoted to each other. When Wynson falls in love with Christa, JonSun seems to forget when family objections to their relationship didn't stop him from marrying SuAnn. The author includes the dynamic of debilitating medical issues which adds another dimension to the central theme of love.

The characters are well developed and the author takes the time to allow the reader to get to know them. As a result, the story moves slowly, particularly in the beginning, but the pace picks up as the plot moves forward. Initially, the jump from part one to part two seemed disconnected, but as the story moves on, the families come together realistically, and the format makes perfect sense. The author created an enjoyable and entertaining novel with a satisfying ending.

Unlimited Love and Tenderness

Author Eichin Chang-Lim weaves a story of college, family and community struggles set in Taipei. The main characters, Jon-Sun, the night student and SuAnn the day student, are opposites socially and financially in their family make up. The traditions are strong and forgiveness for parental disobedience non-existent. The two met and learn about one another with conversation and honorable, chaste dates. The heart knows what it wants, and this young couple succumbed to the arrows that flew from Cupid’s bow.

The storyline is exquisite and character development is exquisite bringing the reader right into the story. I enjoyed both characters and their support for each other. This sample will whet your whistle.

"Finally, on their very last night before SuAnn left campus for the summer break, they visited Drunken Moon Lake and walked along the bridge. The green roof of the lake’s cabana stood out against the fiery orange sky, and the entire picture before them was reflected in the glassy water, as still as could be. There Jon-Sun worked up the courage to give SuAnn a chaste kiss. The pressure of their lips sent an electric current throughout Jon-Sun’s body; every cell seemed to hum and vibrate."

There is a special surprise in Flipping—a second romance. It is a story that explores not only love and traditions, but choice required because of actions taken. The story of Elliana and Mitch explores their sacrifices to reach their family values. Support for others who cross their path takes on a whole new dimension as confidences are shared.

Author Chang-Lim, with the decades between the love stories adds the dynamics of disabilities, disapproving parents, and challenges that make your heart swell and tears fall. I heartily recommend this book for what you can learn, the enjoyment, and exposure to different experiences. You’ll need to take it all the way to the end to find all the connections. Fab love story.

Reviewed in the United States on 4 January 2024

I was engrossed in the story of a love between the classes. From the couple's defiance of those who tried to talk "sense" into them, and them setting off for a new life in America. I was fully invested in their story, when it just stopped! And the story of their child and another family's child takes over. I felt let down, wanting to stay engaged in their story. The story of the children is nice, with them having to overcome other difficulties, but it just didn't have the same appeal to me. My heart was still with the first couple.
