The Last Ten Pounds: One Woman'S Journey To Love (By Shedding Fear, Anger, Hatred... And Everything In-Between)

Lina Sage and her family were boat people-Vietnamese who fled communism to seek a better life across the ocean. Canada seemed to offer that life, but adjusting to the new land proved all but impossible for Lina's father, whose alcoholism drove him to physical abuse. Lina would grow up in fear, not only of her father but of her sexually abusive uncle. The cycle of abuse ended when she moved out, but its influence haunted her for decades. On her own, Lina fell into one disaster after another. Crippling debt from her failed marijuana grow op forced her to turn to the world of elite call girls. She quickly became the most sought-after woman in her agency and by twenty-eight-years-old had become the owner of a multi-million-dollar luxury day spa. Just when Lina thought she had it all, she made the ultimate mistake that ended in her losing everything and hitting rock bottom. She was spiritually broken and in desperate need of healing. Lina had no choice but to reconcile with her past, a decision that brought her down a miraculous journey of self-discovery. A moving memoir of one woman's difficult journey to love and happiness, The Last Ten Pounds is by turns shocking, heartbreaking, and inspiring.
