Dreams, Symbols, and Synchronicity influence the lives of two strangers
from different cultures on journeys of change.
The year is 1994 and California is in a recession. At the Good Fortune restaurant in San Francisco's Chinatown, aged bookkeeper, Chow Lee Tong secretly shares his wisdom through handwritten fortunes delivered to troubled customer, Michael Hamilton. Michael is forty years old, got laid off his job, and feels depressed. He confides his insecurities to a best friend unaware that Tong overhears him
and switches the fortunes inside cookies each time he returns.
Tong's fortunes for Michael are vague suggestions left open to interpretation. At first they confuse him and mean nothing. He studies the messages and in time figures out what he must do to reinvent himself.
Tong's son, Wu rejects everything his father says. Michael cannot commit to his girlfriend for personal reasons. Wu works too much and neglects his family. By facing similar difficulties, each man learns
how he must overcome his personal problems in order to find the happiness he seeks.
They both discover having faith in the unknown brings answers.
Tong waits patiently while Michael and Wu's lives become like mirrored images of the Yin-Yang
symbol—identical yet reversed. Good Fortune awaits both, but first they must learn true happiness
is less tied to outward goals than to inner awareness. Michael never knows about Tong,
yet Tong's gentle wisdom guides him. Wu and Tong finally make amends by having a long overdue conversation and Tong also shows him the way to good fortune.
You will love Tong's character and his life lessons in this charming, multicultural book.
