My Wedding and Other Secrets

The narrative follows Emily Chu, a high-achieving Chinese New Zealander, who has been brought up with the belief that she can achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, her ambitions clash with her traditional Hong Kong-born parents’ expectations for her to pursue a medical career like her elder sisters. Her life seems perfect until she unexpectedly falls for James, a European New Zealander. If her father discovers their relationship, she risks being disowned. As Emily comes to terms with the fact that she is jeopardizing her family’s respect to follow her heart, James has also fallen deeply in love with her, compelling them to keep their romance hidden. While happy endings are rare and challenging, they are not impossible. For Emily to achieve hers, she must demonstrate to both James and her family that she has understood the true, selfless nature of love.
