Jean Tren-Hwa Perkins was born unwanted during the 1931 Yangtze River Flood, adopted by medical missionaries, brought to the US for a few years, then trapped in Communist China. She was neither American nor Chinese "enough," yearning for acceptance and home her whole life. Her memoir, finished by her son, is an eyewitness account of Chinese history and her own harrowing story.

Richard Hsung's life has spanned two continents and cultures. His mother survived turbulent times in China, living through the start of Communism, and being separated from her American adoptive parents.

She asked Richard if he would tell her story, and she passed her notes and writings on to him. It took much longer than he thought it would and it changed him.

Richard Perkins Hsung promised his mother he would complete her memoir. It took him more than ten years. He meticulously compiled and edited her writings, adding family photographs and historical details to create the 3-volume Spring Flower, spanning the 83 years of her life (1931–2014):

The books have 5-star reviews on Amazon, and are the result of years of work by Chemistry Professor-turned-author Richard Hsung.

At this time in history, his mother's story reminds us of the human costs of the decisions made by the world's government powers, and the painful decisions some people are forced to make.

Risa August is not your average human. When faced with a devastating pituitary disease diagnosis, she pushed through to find herself again. One of the things she did was participate in a bike ride from Canada to Mexico!

She published her multi-award-winning memoir "The Road Unpaved - Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike" about this major life-altering diagnosis and personal life upheaval. She found that she experienced a change in her own perspective, and faced her own limiting beliefs. After being told she "shouldn't", she decided to ride her bike the 1,845 miles from Canada to Mexico.

Her ultimate goal was to save lives, and also to inspire and empower others.
By day,Risa is a Speaker, Gestalt Practitioner and patient advocate for rare Pituitary tumors. She offers inspirational coaching to those feeling stuck within their own limiting beliefs. In her personal time, you will find her living a robust life!

Risa has been interviewed on over 55 podcasts since my her book release in October, many more will air over the next several months. Here is a link where you can listen/view those podcasts: https://www.risaaugust.com/podcast-interviews.html
