Dreams, Symbols, and Synchronicity influence the lives of two men from different cultures on journeys of change. Both are guided by an elderly Chinese scholar-a secret mentor to one-a father to the other.
The year is 1994 and California is in a recession. From the Good Fortune restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, Chow Lee Tong shares his wisdom and secretly passes it through handwritten fortunes delivered to troubled customer Michael Hamilton.
Tong's fortunes for Michael are vague suggestions left open to interpretation. Tong's son Wu rejects everything his father says. By facing similar difficulties, each man learns how he must overcome personal problems in order to find the happiness he seeks. In time, both discover that to fulfill their purpose, along the way they may have to find answers by faith in the unknown.
Tong waits patiently while the men's lives become like mirrored images of the Yin/Yang symbol-identical yet reversed. Good fortune awaits them, but first, they must realize true happiness is less tied to outward goals than to inner awareness. Tong's gentle wisdom shows them the way.
You will love Tong's character and his life lessons in this charming, multicultural book.
