Bonnie’s Life Story
Bonnie was born on January 1, 1995 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She is the daughter of a mail-order bride from Hong Kong and a busboy from San Francisco’s Chinatown. Growing up, she never felt beautiful or beloved, and struggled with loneliness and insecurity. She built her life to look pleasant and ordinary, with a wonderful husband, two amazing boys, and a thriving career.

At 39, she discovered a long-forgotten birth certificate in an old file cabinet that sparked her curiosity about her family’s secrets and her true identity. She embarked on a quest to uncover her past and understand the home she was born into. Along the way, she encountered God’s whispers of love and grace that transformed her heart and soul.
