Hear the amazing story of one woman's journey growing up as a healthy child in a leprosy colony in the jungle of Thailand and how she became a successful business woman in Spokane today.
Although a healthy child, by unusual circumstances, Suwanee grew up in a leprosy colony in the jungle of Thailand, deemed to have a life of desolate isolation. But fate intervened years later and she landed in U.S.
Today, the two worlds may seem irreconcilable, but Suwannee finds a way to bridge the divide and keeps her love and gratitude burning for the place that nourished her early life. This is a story of grace, of a place where misfortune and fortune intersect, of passion, of creativity, and above all, of the humanity in all of us.
Suwanee is an accomplished chef, food blogger, and professional photographer. To find out more about her, visit www.simplysuwanee.com. Suwanee will also have samples of food featuring her special spices!
