Overview

Wendy Sura Thomson was born in the Year of the Tiger, and, according to her sign, she is fearless. Wendy has always been reluctant about accepting that virtue, but her life has shown her she truly has the courage to fight for people and dreams. In Summon the Tiger, Wendy details a childhood of learning to live with her disability, as well as family troubles. She was born with congenital skeletal abnormalities and, as a toddler, had to have her leg amputated. Her father suffered from World War II-induced PTSD, struggling at a time when PTSD wasn't much acknowledged. Her mother was emotionally unstable. Wendy escaped to a world of books and music. But she doesn't just travel through her reading. After two years of college, she joined her family on a freighter bound for parts unknown. Wendy travels with her family but jumps ship in Miami to start a new chapter in her life. As she pursues her studies and meets a coterie of colorful characters, she is forced to evaluate what is most important to her. Her values and the defense of those values have taken her to extraordinary destinations that are now shared in this heartfelt autobiography.
