About the book

The year is 1968. A young Filipino female engineer arrives at the LAX airport optimistic and confident that her $300 pocket money and civil engineering credentials are enough to unlock the good life in America. She immediately discovers that racism, gender discrimination, poverty, and language barriers threaten to destroy her essence. She braces herself for a fight that she knows will be tough, but she is determined to win. She eventually succeeds as a professional engineer, businesswoman, author, and professional motivational speaker. A true story of grit, tenacity, resilience, and triumph of the human spirit.
