An Ovation for Annmuma
An overnight success that took a lifetime.45 total reviews
Comment from Jasmine Girl
I'm very moved by your story. Ann is a very impressive person and she has achieved so much for someone who comes from a humble background. She worked until she was at least 77 years old when she sold her business. That's very admirable. I spent a Chinese New Year without my mother when I was fifteen. She was in jail. My new book "Chinese Lolita" is about many very sad and unique stories of my family.
Excellent.

Thank you for the six stars! Ann actually was 79 when she sold her business and has a contract to continue for as long as she wants, so who knows. I will look for your book. Terry.

A beautiful write-up. I love Ann. She is a lovely, lyrical writer and very encouraging to other writers, myself included. Her stories leave you with a lump in your throat and sunshine in your heart.
Well done, Terry!

Comment from Shirley McLain
What a lovely tribute to this lady and her perseverance. You did an excellent job, and I didn't see any errors. I applaud Ann for thinking of the people first, instead of just the money. That shows great integrity. Thank you for sharing. Have a great night. Shirley

Thank you for sharing this tribute to Ann with us. I am fan of her and, too, have been impressed with how wonderful she is. I agree she deserves a standing OVATION, and I am giving her one too.

It was nice of you to recognize her. I not familiar with her work, but after reading your story about her struggles and hardships you're right, she is well-deserving of an ovation.

Thank you, Terry, for sharing this lovely tribute to a fellow writer. Sounds like she had many setbacks in her life but had courage to overcome them. I will check out the stories you mentioned.

Comment from susand3022
Wow, Terry... I suppose this could be what we call a "Fan Story" Hahaha... it seems you are enamored with Miss Ann.
How cool it must have been to find a person in your own area that you could meet right from here! I'd just love that. Sounds like you and Ann have a lot in common. What a nice way to ring the bell that your friend never will.
Susan :)

Comment from nomi338
Ann's story should serve as an inspiration to everyone not just women, but to women especially. My own mother's story is inspirational as well and I may very well attempt to tell it one day. We sons and daughters should pay closer attention to our parent's struggle to get us to where we are in life. I daresay that we probably would not have made it without their efforts to raise us in the proper way.

Nomi, thank you for the six stars for Ann. She is a remarkable lady. You should write the story of your mother. I for one would be interested in reading it. Terry.

Thank you. I may very well, She died in 2006 and I have not yet come to grips with the finality of it yet. I guess I should seek some type of closure.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
You did a great job with this tribute to Ann. I have read and
reviewed most of her latest work. She is everything you wrote.
I didn't realize her insurance business had that many employees.
That showed her perseverance and business skills. Yes, she has
done well and never forgot her love of family and her roots.
Thank you for sharing, Jan
