Dr. Chiufang Hwang's Memoir Grown-Up Child
Chronicles a Taiwanese-American Girls Culture,
Chores and Dream Chasing
(1888 PressRelease) Autobiographer inspires
readers to overcome great odds, no matter their
age or ethnicity. DALLAS Known by many fans
for her multiple attempts to become a Dallas
Cowboys Cheerleader, including a recent shot at
age 50, Dr. Chiufang Hwang has always dreamed
big. But as a child, demanding Taiwanese parents
and their expectations often stood in the way. In
her riveting memoir Grown-Up Child, Dr. Hwang
describes her journey from an immigrant toddler
to a successful doctor and psychiatrist. The
eldest child of Taiwanese parents who immigrated
to the United States, Dr. Hwang bounced from town
to town as her father pursued his academic
dreams. Because she was isolated and shy, her
life was centered on her family and home, which
she was expected to run. Immersed in an American
culture she could only experience through
television and music, Dr. Hwang was raised to be
a stoic, obedient child with no freedom, missing
out on rites of passage like school dances and
high school football games. But despite her
challenging youth, Dr. Hwang pursued her own
dreams, and succeeded. Not only did Dr. Hwang
receive her doctor of medicine degree, she also
completed a residency in psychiatry and
fellowship in child and adolescent psychiatry.

Growing up, my family was broke, my sister was
deathly ill and parents relationship was in
turmoil, said Dr. Hwang. So while often
humorous, Grown-Up Child is also an honest,
insightful look at the challenges people face
that are often hidden behind the facade of
success. Yet despite an individuals background
or the obstacles theyve faced in life, with
perseverance, anything is possible. My goal in
writing this memoir was to show readers they are
capable of anything they set their minds to, and
I hope it inspires them to push to reach their
dreams. Grown-Up Child can be purchased online
through SDP Publishing, Amazon, Barnes and Noble
and other retailers. Dr. Hwang previously
published the book American Sweetheart Still Not
Making the Team. For more information about Dr.
