About the Book

Wild Orchid is the remarkable true story of one woman's journey from pre-Communist China to Jamaica, then London, and finally to Hollywood. Lucille Soong started as the daughter of a wealthy family. When Communism takes over China, her family suffers greatly. Seeking freedom, she marries and ends up in London, becoming one of the first Asian models in Britain. Eventually, she ends up in Los Angeles and struggles to realize her dream as an actor before finally being cast in a beloved role in a popular sitcom.

Her story shows that you must persevere and be strong in order to survive, but you don't have to lose your dignity and pride to achieve your dreams. If you give love and care to people, you'll get the same and be a successful, happy person.
