Phan, who specializes in helping others with the ability to drink clean water with a simple filter that produces natural, enhanced alkaline water, tells her incredible story of survival and overcoming incredible odds.
The inspirational story of a rags-to-riches immigrant, Fire of Hope and Victim to Victor is also a concrete action plan for everyone who wants to find meaning and purpose in their own lives. Rose Phan arrived in the U.S. as a Vietnamese boat refugee over forty years ago, her family having survived torture, a miraculous escape at sea, and attempted repatriation. Through the story of her family and her struggles as a wife, mother, and businesswoman, Phan outlines the principles that have enabled her not only to survive, but thrive in her new homeland. Readers will be moved by the heroism of her father, King Win, and astounded at the series of events that took her from a homeless teen refugee to a millionaire by age 34. She also invites her audience to experience beauty in unexpected places, from a war-torn country to a drop of fresh water. Fire of Hope and Victim to Victor reflects Phan’s deep faith and belief in the power of courage over fear, her fresh voice leaping off the page to share lessons you’ll never forget.
Phan states, “This book is meant to help people of all ages appreciate life in the different phases of their journey—whether personal growth or entrepreneurship—in a physical, mental, and spiritual way.
“This book covers my journey of discovery in life, business, and relationships.
It is how I discovered the truth of which Emily Dickson wrote: Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul that sings the song without words and never stops at all.
Where there is a will, there is a way. There is a solution to every problem, so don’t give up in any circumstance. As long as your heart moves you to do the highest good, the universe is there for you. Faith will carry you through any challenge you may encounter in life.”
Born in pre-war Vietnam, Rose Phan and her family took a perilous boat ride to freedom after the Communist regime rose to power, eventually settling in California. While simultaneously trying to adapt to her adopted home and process the catastrophic events that led to their escape, Phan graduated with a Master in Business at UCLA and, along with her husband, built multiple businesses from the ground up. One venture, Alpha Systems Lab (ASL), grew to a $40 million company in just three years. Her business success has led to features in national print and broadcast media and speaking invitations to prestigious events such as the Harvard Faculty Club’s Business Expert Forum and West Point Leadership Speakers Academy. A 2016 mission trip to her native Vietnam drove home the vital importance of clean drinking water, leading to Phan’s latest commercial venture and Helping 1000’s who would otherwise not have clean drinkable water.
Look for The Fire of Hope, from Victim to Victor in December 2016 to be available on amazon.com and other national book retailers.
