Eichin Chang-Lim Launches FLIPPING
by BWW News Desk - February 15, 2016
Love can overcome many obstacles with enough determination. JonSun can't forget his fateful meeting with SuAnn at the university and takes her on a date to a showing of 'Casablanca' during the English-language film series. The humble son of a farmer and the surgeon's daughter spend Saturday nights watching classic Hollywood films and falling in love. This new novel released by Dog Ear Publishing details their challenges as well as those of the generation that follows. 'Flipping' tells the story of SuAnn, who pretends to her family that she will follow the path they chose for her - to marry a medical student. Instead, she gets a chance to move to the United States, sponsored by JonSun's older sister, who plans to marry a Taiwanese-American and move there with her brother. But her traditional father learns of their plan to marry and pays an uncomfortable visit. Undeterred, they follow through with their plan. Another couple, Elliana and Mitch, have a beautiful baby girl, Christa, and their family expands yet again soon after when a friend becomes pregnant unexpectedly. The new baby, Jadelynn, and her development underscore a difference in her big sister's abilities, and testing reveals that Christa is deaf. Cochlear implants bring her the chance to hear, and the world of gymnastics further broadens her horizons. At school, she and Jadelynn make a friend, Wynson, the son of JonSun and SuAnn. The trio becomes inseparable, but deeper feelings blossom under their friendship. Years later, gymnastic phenomenon Christa gets some devastating news that may change everything. Heart-wrenching news of his own puts everything into focus for Wynson, who learns that finding love is worth taking the biggest risk of his life. 'Flipping,' a sensitive look into the world of hearing loss, low vision and blindness, received the Award of Excellence from Dog Ear Publishing, which recognizes books that impress the company's editorial staff.

But a supportive mother, a recently returned father, rainbow pancakes, and princesses can't heal the dark void left in Phil's heart which he won't even admit is there. When Mallory's mother's life unexpectedly turns upside down, Mallory realizes her dreams come second to her heart, and she leaves her dream job in a big city to return home set on helping her fiercely independent mother recover. After forming a unique bond with Jessica-and a friendship with Jessica's hot father-Mallory finds that in coming back to Stonehill she might just have found a way to make all of her dreams come true.
