Dr. Kim Parker LCSW

Kim Parker is the author of a new book called East Meets West: Parenting from the Best of Both Worlds (available now on Amazon & Westbowpress). An American social worker, therapist, educator, and nonprofit Christian leader of Chinese-Vietnamese descent, Kim was a young refugee from the fallout of the Vietnam War when her family was sponsored from a refugee camp by a Christian church to move to America in 1979. She has since journeyed through identity crisis, adopted the culture of her new homeland, found the Christian faith, and years later even married a White Southerner from her sponsoring church (!). She shares her story in this memoir/self-help book to honor the sacrifice of her amazing parents and glean from the wisdom of ancient Eastern religions and philosophies as it relates to parenting. https://www.amazon.com/East-Meets-West-Parker-LCSW/dp/1512750948/ref=monarch_sidesheet
