No Matter What by Ruth Topacio Reyes
No Matter What: A Story of a Child Prodigy shows what talent, discipline, and good habits look like from a young immigrant’s perspective.
The book offers practical insights into purposeful living by taking you on a promenade-like stroll through Ruth Topacio Reyes’ growing up in a Filipino family, assimilating to not only one but two foreign cultures, and describing her Juilliard years in the “greatest city in the world.”
How does one get better at anything? How do you handle what life sends your way? How do you persevere through any challenge and take it to the end? Reyes’ journey and transparency will inspire any reader.
