Ninety-Nine Fire Hoops: A Memoir by Allison Hong Merrill

“Allison Hong Merrill's memoir is a moving story about her early life in Taiwan, its harshness, and her desire to overcome that life. Instead, she finds herself stranded in Texas after a short marriage to a man who walks out on her and leaves her with barely anything. Facing many obstacles she finally finds the person of her dreams and the life she was looking for. Allison has the heart of a tiger and the resilience of a dragon.” Five Star Reader Review

“Allison Hong Merrill begins her memoir in the middle— on the day her husband abandoned her—and then she weaves together a story of how she grew up destitute and found hope and joy when she learned about Jesus Christ. Her story is a roller coaster of emotions, from the excitement of new love to the ache of rejection. But through all of it, Allison draws strength from her faith in God and manages to continue moving forward. Her story inspires me to be kinder to everyone—even those who may treat me unkindly.” Five Star Reader Review
