About the Book

A search for a dream. Wing Cheong discovers that there are many roads to a single dream. He wants to fly — but his dream is suddenly shattered. As he searches for a meaning in life and other dreams to replace his first love, Wing experiences the trials and tribulations of change — in his family, friends and most of all, himself.

A powerful and moving story about growing up, innocence and love, toughness and courage. A search across time and space — from the wonders of childhood to the strident urges of young manhood; from the landscape of the mind to the realm of the heart.
