Howard Hom grew up in China with no money and little education. However, he possessed a sharp mind, a photographic memory, and a strong desire to make his mark in the world. When an opportunity to come to America arose, he grabbed it with both hands.
Because she was born a girl, Janet Kong Hom almost didn't live to be more than a few days old. She was rescued by her mother from an "exterminator" who had been hired by her grandmother.
Howard and Janet overcame their obstacles to find love, success, and happiness in Tucson, Arizona. The Hom Memoirs tells their story.
