Failing UP was recognized as one of only 2% of books reviewed to earn a Kirkus STARthe most prestigious designation in the book industry in awarding books of exceptional merit.When people first meet Barbara Hong, they often conclude that her life must have always been enriched. They assume she had loving, successful parents and all the support she needed to reach her goals. Nothing could be further from the truth.Hongs path to an Ivy League university and beyond started in a filthy tenement in Singapore where she lived with an abusive father and an illiterate mother. Even as a child of six, she worked in her sweatshop home to help with extra money, which her father often wasted on alcohol. As she endured his drinking and abuse, she feared that the pain she internalized could shatter her.But instead of falling apart, Hong managed to escape her misery, thanks to a teacher who believed in her. Once she knew she wasnt the brainless cabbage head her mother called her, she began excelling as a student, eventually finding the courage to leave her home and discover her true calling as a knowledge seeker, educator, and an advocate.Hongs inspirational journey from a sweatshop home upbringing to an influential dean and professor movingly illustrates the true strength of the human spirit and the power of teachers.To Read the Kirkus Review, visit: https://www.kirkusreviews.com/bookreviews/barbarahong/failingup/
