A Daughter's Journey: A Memoir

A Daughter's Journey: A Memoir

A hidden laundry bag full of cash. An attempted murder in a shower. A six-figure bouquet that clinched an appeal. Susan M. Chung, the "Godzilla" of divorce attorneys in Silicon Valley, as tech wealth exploded, weaves her accounts of courtroom dramas with golden threads of perspective and wisdom earned through decades of fighting, not only for justice, but her own personal struggles and a rare viral immune dysfunction. As a young girl and immigrant who found wings in America's public education system, Susan also found freedom and strength to rise above cultural and traditional expectations. She shares how, even in the face of failure and defeat and through dark times, she persevered and emerged with her faith in humanity and God intact. Susan published her first book, A Mother's Journey (2011), as a tribute to her mother. It tells of her family's arrival in Los Angeles and their significant role in the founding of Koreatown. Born and raised in Korea, arriving in Los Angeles at 12, Susan has lived in San Francisco since 1981.
