Inherited Fortitude

INHERITED FORTITUDE bridges the historical and contemporary narratives by following Xiu's journey from her childhood in Beijing to her life and career in England, before culminating in her post-surgery rehabilitation and remarkable recovery to 96% of her former self. This final volume explores Xiu's educational path, her decision to pursue an MBA in Oxford as an act of self-liberation, her adaptation to a new culture, her relationship with James, and her career development, all shaped by the resilience modelled by her mother. The trilogy thus comes full circle, revealing how two generations of fortitude ultimately enabled Xiu to overcome her devastating brain injury.
