understand how many miracles there were in the life of Julie
Yip-Williams. Her parents were refugees who fled from China
to Vietnam where Julie was born- blind. She narrowly escaped being euthanized at the request of some of her family. In the 1970's her family escaped the chaos of Vietnam by boat. They went to Hong Kong and eventually to the U.S.
Julie was given the gift of partial sight by a surgeon at UCLA. Unbelievably she goes to Harvard and earns a law degree. She gets married and they have two daughters. When she was 37 when she found out that she had colon cancer which was already metastatic .
There is no part of her journey from birth to death that won't leave you in awe.
