About The Author
Cindy Yee Kong was born in China and immigrated to New York City with her family as a young child. Saddled with a rare crippling disease (dopa-responive dystonia) and an abusive, non-supportive family, she found her escape in education. She earned her sociology degree from Stony Brook University and built a career as a social worker. She wrote The Eyes of the Lion to inspire others to always persevere. When she is not writing, she loves to draw and spend time with her husband and pets.
“I highly recommend The Eyes of the Lion for all educators in special education and cultural studies. [Kong] will enlighten readers and provide them with valuable insights…”
-Dr. John N. Hatfield, Ph.D., The University of Oklahoma
