"You have been conducting fraudulent activities. I am the rightful majority owner, not you." Unannounced, my business partner walked into my office and recited a list of reasons why I was being fired. "You will be deported. Please pack your things and leave or I'll call the police to remove you."

"What are you talking about?! What..." I couldn't breathe. He gave me no time to digest what was happening. Within moments, two police officers were standing on either side of him. They must have been waiting for his call.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you have to leave the premises."

Jenny Jing Zhu is a first-generation Chinese immigrant and proud Asian American. At an early age it became clear she was cut from a different cloth, defying her parents' wishes and cultural expectations. From finding her first job at age six in the small rural village of Caolou to learning about the realities of entrepreneurship, life, and love in Bejing as an older teen, Jenny relied on her instincts to follow her dreams. After building a string of small businesses, she landed in San Francisco as a newly married twenty-six-year-old to embark on the most challenge-filled yet rewarding adventure of her life.

Jenny's inspiring and often humorous story offers women, immigrants, and new entrepreneurs an unvarnished look at the resilience and intuition she developed while weaving her dreams. She shows readers what it means to do the same by uncovering the strands of their own experiences and weaving them into a unique and beautiful tapestry.
