曾经的她落魄失意，经历过少年丧父、高考落榜、离婚、失业、女儿罹患"脑瘫"的打击......而现在的她是令人瞩目的跨国集团总裁夫人，被美国国会授予"杰出华人作家奖"，成为美国上流社会的宠儿。没有以愤怒来面对跌宕起伏的命运，没有对遭受的不公怨天尤人，汪洋只是返诸自身，将来自外部的压力变成内心自省和内在动力。这种温和而积极的基调，是这本自述中最迷人的光彩。

While you may not be able to change the way you look, through practice and determination, you can transform yourself into a dazzling, captivating woman. Wang Yang's experiences are ample proof of this. Never Give Up on Yourself shows us that even a Cinderella can become a beautiful princess, and that as long as you hold on to your hope, all of your dreams can come true!
