An inspiring story of faith, love, and determination, How Sweet the Bitter Soup chronicles one woman's quest for happiness through a life-changing adventure that lands her in a remote Chinese village, and in love with a gentle, handsome man who calls that village home.
Her mom was working as a maid. Her dad's Alzheimer's was in high gear. And the rent on her parents' small Chicago apartment had just gone up. Again. But Lori was holding it all together: helping care for her dad and pay her family's bills, figuring out how to navigate graduate school and four jobs on top of her family responsibilities, and, somehow, continuing to believe that there was more to life than this. And there was. An exciting job teaching at a prestigious school in China. Although the previous month, she had turned down a job offer in Iowa - thinking it was too far away from her family - she felt completely at ease accepting the job in China. Grasping on to the fierce determination she'd had since childhood, Lori found herself in Guangzhou, China, where she fell in love with the culture and with a man from a tiny town in Hubei province. What followed was a transformative adventure - one that will inspire readers to use the bitter to make life even sweeter.
