About the Book

It's not easy being the tallest woman in Ho Chi Minh City...just ask Kimmie Pham aka 'Kimmie Coconut Tree'. The staring. The not-so-clever names. The reluctance of eligible bachelors to ask her out. She hates her height and the problems it brings. It's enough to keep a girl at home, curled up with a good movie. But when Kimmie's aunt in Riverton, USA asks her to be a pen-pal with an American businessman, Kimmie accepts only to please her parents and three sisters. After nearly a year, they are about to meet in person...and she worries about his reaction to what she has never told him. It's not easy being a recycler in the Midwest...just ask Fred Starbuckle aka 'a glorified junk peddler'. Cruising neighborhoods for sellable treasures on trash day. Living in a converted garage. Driving beaters. The reluctance of eligible bachelorettes to accept dates from him. It's enough to make a man seek companionship overseas. From the day of his arrival, Kimmie begins keeping a diary of her time with Fred and his upbeat attitude about life. Before long, his joie de vie and playful encouragement rubs off on the shy, insecure Kimmie until she is living out the kind of life only seen in her favorite films. An eclectic cast of characters fill the pages of Kimmie's diaries and social calendar: Hollywood action star Rock Rollins, Anh Hai the Sandwich Guy, troublesome brother-in-law Barney and his hot-to-trot wife Bunny, celebrity photographer Zander and the Fierce 5 spokesmodels along with her sisters in Saigon, New York and Riverton and many others. Some will help, some will hurt and some will do both, but all will be important to the Rising Star of Kimmie Coconut Tree. A saga spanning cultures and continents from Ho Chi Minh City to the Big Apple and back again, The Rising Star of Kimmie Coconut Tree explores sisterhood, brotherly rivalries and the challenges of turning life's lemons into sweet lemonade.
