She's catering to the whims of a Beijing family newly arriving to wealth buy a 10-million dollar Beverly Hills home she brokered for them. At the same time, launching a multi-billion-dollar Vegas hotel and casino project with high-end Asian investors. Simon Wang, manufacturing magnate, his teenage son Greg, and his mother, the indomitable Grandma Moh, a holdover from Mao's Cultural Revolution, are having problems adjusting to life in Beverly Hills. Oddball Grandma Moh eschews the conveniences of modern life like a top-of the line washing machine, preferring to beat her laundry with a stick. And why ever go to a doctor when you have traditional Chinese medicine for everything? This Beijing Hillbilly can be a major headache. Meanwhile in Vegas, Kara's trying to piece together a deal that is a dream come true. The investment money is lined up by her good friend Chelsea, the daughter of a Chinese casino tycoon; a great site on the Strip has been chosen as well as a world-renowned architect. But something's not quite right. There are headwinds that give Kara pause. It's 2007, and rumors of an impending economic crash worry her. Her nightmares of doom and destruction haunt her. Worlds are about to collide. Forces are brewing beyond her control. Can Kara survive the approaching storm? Who will save her? **This book was published in 2017; it has been republished in 2020.**

Beijing, China has become a bustling metropolis, riding the hurried tide of newfound economic prosperity. These quick commercial and political changes have left a massive cultural divide between Simon Wang and his teenage son Greg, who has never tasted poverty or the evils of widespread violence. Will they be able to overcome their differences in order to peacefully co-exist in America, or will the love between father and son be the very force which tears the Wang family apart forever?Simon Wang has seen both the best and the worst of China throughout his lifetime-the rapid changes implemented under the Mao Zedong regime, up to the modern affluence of contemporary Chinese life have given him a profound understanding of the importance of a good education. Yet, everything that Simon has built is threatened when Greg befriends a rag-tag group of inner city hip-hop dancers.Simon seeks a new and bright future for his son Greg and niece, Ling, in America, yet hip-hop dancing threatens to destroy the fabric of everything he has created. Will Simon be able to drive his son away from the alluring promises of dance and guide him into a more practical future, by ensuring Greg gets into Harvard? Will Greg defy his father's unreasonable demands and carve out his own path? The future of this Beijing family hangs in the balance in this fictional coming-of-age tale, as old wounds boil to the surface, loyalties are tested, and the ways of the past are endangered by modern-day American ideals. Will Greg somehow be able to find freedom under his father's oppressive rule, or will Simon's rage destroy them both? Watch as a Chinese parent and his young adult child grapple with the multi-cultural influences of the modern world, the strain of puberty, and all that comes with every teen's transition to adulthood.In a story of culture, home, and the ties that bind, father and son must learn to navigate the great divide of life, or be buried beneath the rubble of the past. Can Simon, Greg, and the rest of their Beijing family learn to love and accept one another despite their differences, or will heartache and loss define them all for generations to come? Author, Gina Tang, writes a riveting story-at times hilarious, and also heartbreaking-- detailing the ways in which families wound one another, protect one another, and find collective redemption, often by starting anew. **This book was published in 2017; it is republished in 2020**

So wie einst die Tierheimleute Gina das Leben retten und ihr ihre schlimmen Erfahrungen vergessen machen, hilft nun der Hund seinem neuen Fauchen Simone, ihre Probleme aufzuarbeiten. Der kleine Hund, der nicht mal bellen kann, lässt Simone Worte finden, die beide in diesem Buch aufgeschrieben haben. Und nicht nur das. Gina begleitet Simone in deren geliebtes Borderliner-Land und hilft dem geneigten Leser einen kleinen Einblick in die gestörte Seele dieser Frau zu gewinnen.

Modtager af den spanske romanpris Amposta, 2019 En morgen vågner Gina, som nærmer sig voksenlivet med alle dets konsekvenser, med en mærkelig fornemmelse i kroppen. Efter mange lægeundersøgelser får hun stillet en alvorlig og uventet diagnose. Gina er en sjov, følelsesbetonet og charmerende roman, som i første person fortæller om den modgang, en trediveårig kvinde oplever. Ginas stemme er intelligent, varm og sjov, ukompliceret, direkte og meget autentisk. Hun funderer over kærlighed og sex, over ubrydelige venskaber, sygdom og smerte, over det desperate ønske om at blive mor, de mennesker, hun møder på sin vej, tingenes sammenhæng og meningen med livet. Det lykkedes Maria Climent at bevæge en hel generation af læsere med Gina, hendes første roman. Historien om en kvinde diagnosticeret med sklerose, der ønsker at blive mor, før det er for sent, bredte sig som en løbeild blandt spanske læsere og nåede også hurtigt frem til bogelskere i Frankrig.
