SALLY SUEN

www.sallysuen.com I was born in the beautiful Nine Gorge World Heritage site in Sichuan, China. It was wilderness back then. People lived in houses built with thatched roofs, but they were simple, kind, and innocent. I lived in a house with everything in one room for a few years of my childhood. I slept in a bed with only a wooden board and cotton pad on it. When I woke up one day, I was brought to a rich world where streets were illuminated by the neon lights that blanketed both sides, concrete tall buildings were like forests, and people spoke languages that I had never heard before, a fascinating world we called Hong Kong, the last colony of the United Kingdom. I grew up in a bitter step family without my mother, and my father was never there. I often hid myself in an imaginary world with fairy tales and love stories as an escape. As a lonely and silly girl struggling to find herself, I believed in finding love under the beautiful oak tree, or by the beach, or riding on a train. Since then, I have always dreamed of writing a love story myself. When I went to Los Angeles after graduating college in Canada, I fell in love with its palm trees, sunshine, and mesmerizing beaches. I enjoyed so much spending time at the state beach Crystal Cove and it inspired me to write my book. I hope this story will touch those who are still looking for themselves and impress them to believe love is so hopeful no matter how lost you feel. If you desire, you’ll always find a path that leads to your dream. Besides writing, Sally Suen also uses her professional license to help people achieve their goals of wellness.
