Rina Tham

Lucky Number 9: Journey of a Rubber Tapper’s Daughter is the compelling story of Rina Tham’s impoverished childhood in the jungle of Malaysia. Her philosophy is that if you live with your heart open, fear becomes an adventure. “In many ways, I had less than most--living on the rubber plantation, saving pennies for food, fighting for floor space by the window, never seeing Father, tapping trees at dawn with Mother. Then there was my arm, it brought panic…” Read how Rina overcame poverty, debilitating health issues, many other dramatic life challenges and how her ultimate triumph over such adversity has resulted in a deep desire to give back to the world.
