About the Book

Escaping the genocide of 1970s Cambodia was the beginning of a journey that took Sok-Khieng (So-Can) Lim Hardy through triumphs and tragedies which have impacted her in ways she still is discovering. From nearly dying as her family fled Cambodia for Thailand to working tirelessly helping others deal with personal injury, Sok-Khieng's story reminds us that our pasts may be different, but we all experience ups and downs in life, learning and growing from each experience.The Lim family of 12 was sent to West Linn, Oregon, to begin their life in America. Sok-Khieng, the youngest of five siblings, experienced racism on the first day of school when a classmate thought she was chocolate. From that innocent and childish comment to running from a parade that included Ku Klux Klan and Aryan Nation members, Sok-Khieng knew she wanted to be a voice for others...and for herself. Her experiences led her to law school, and a passion for personal injury law has given others the second chance they deserve.Follow Sok-Khieng as she experiences the trials and tribulations of a young college student learning to live independently, finding love then losing it, and creating the life that she wanted for herself. Learn how her perseverance and tenacity took her from the depths of loneliness to finding a passion helping others as an attorney. After temporary residences in Arizona and Eastern Washington, Sok-Khieng found home in Tacoma, Washington.Sok-Khieng spent time away from work enjoying the Pacific Northwest, her love of the outdoors and being active. She joined a Dragon Boat Club and met her life partner, husband Tyler, Dad to Wyatt and Whitney. The Hardy family story took its own twists and turns, and Sok-Khieng reflects on how tragedy mixed with joy keeps us forever grateful for another day of life. Sok-Khieng comments, "The most valuable lesson I can share with you is the importance of your relationship with yourself. In order to be a great parent, wife, child, sibling, or friend you need to love yourself." Read her story and be inspired. You, too, can live a life full of joy, peace, and gratitude.
