Cynthia Lim is the author of Wherever You Are: A Memoir of Love, Marriage, and Brain Injury, about her journey as a caregiver for her disabled husband. After retiring as a central office
administrator for the Los Angeles Unified School District in 2017, she traveled to China to find
her parents’ ancestral villages. The trip led to deeper into research on her family’s immigration
history to the United States. She is working on a memoir about searching for her Chinese roots.
When not researching or writing, she enjoys quilting, art journaling, and volunteering for the
Chinese Family History Group in Southern California.
"Wherever You Are answers the question ‘What makes a life worth living?’ A beautifully written love story by a courageous woman who finds the capacity to experience joy and love in the face of devastating loss."
— Maureen Murdock, author of Unreliable Truth: On Memoir and Memory
