Read my book

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 and therapist of Chinese-Vietnamese descent, Kim was a young refugee from the fallout of the Vietnam War when her family was sponsored 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 Christian faith, and years later even married a White Southerner from her sponsoring church (!). She is now sharing 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. Kim and her husband are parenting three precious boys from the best of both Eastern and Western traditions. https://www.amazon.com/East-Meets-West-Parker-LCSW/dp/1512750948/ref=monarch_sidesheet
