Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Dr. Eichin Chang-Lim is a semiretired optometrist, a multi-award-winning author, a wife, and a mother to 2 children. She and her husband had a private optometry practice in Los Angeles. They live in Orange County, California.

In a recent interview, the author said, “You might have noticed that romance and inspirational are my niche genres. I write romance because I find it to be an intriguing genre. Relationships are quite involved in real life. Therefore, I use romance to depict the intricacies of relationships. Ultimately, it evolves into an inspirational and thought-provoking tale. Readers will discover that I tend to tell love stories beyond the confines of romance. I strive to convey the kind of love that is much broader and more profound than romantic or physical love. I strongly believe that love is more than a four-letter word. It’s multidimensional. It involves sacrifice, forgiveness, trust, demoting one’s ego, or even ‘letting it go’ at times. I also like to encompass the love of friendship, family, and even little pets in my stories.”

“As a romance writer, I write with my heart and soul. My mindset is that if my story can make a difference in even one person’s life, it’s all worth it, and that’s what love is all about,” she added.

Eichin modeled during college in Taiwan and was in several short films, including a supporting role in the comedy Indy/feature film Winning Formula. She has written six books: FLIPPING: An Uplifting Novel of Love, A Mother’s Heart: Memoir of a Special Needs Parent, Love: A Tangled Knot, TheLoveLock, YOUR PRECIOUS SIGHT: An Optometrist’s Most Memorable Cases, and Ultimate Revenge.

During the preorder period, YOUR PRECIOUS SIGHT hit the #1 New Release in seven categories at least once: Optometry, Physician & Patient Diagnosis, Eye Problems, Reference, Preventive Medicine, Aging, and Ophthalmology.

Besides acting and writing, she loves opera and a big bear hug. Learn more about the author at www.eichinchanglim.com

An enlightening must-read for all ages!
Talking About Adolescence: Book 1 by Eichin Chang-Lim and Lora L. is an enlightening must-read for all ages.Anyone who’s been through adolescence is familiar with the overwhelming personal challenges one faces during that (insane-feeling) phase. No doubt, transitioning into adulthood with this kind of valuable guide would be a game-changer (especially, given the vast amount of information covered on present-day psychological, physical, and social issues).The authors do a fantastic job of inspiring and elevating the reader to a place of heroic confidence so they can face anything and become the narrator of their own lives. But most importantly, become their truest, healthiest selves. This expertly-written, mental-health masterpiece is a must-have for every shelf. Well done. Five stars!

    5.0 out of 5 stars An important resource for parents and teens!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2024

    Talking About Adolescense is a comprehensive guide for parents, teachers, and teens to help navigate the emotional, psychological, and social challenges of adolescence. It addresses many mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, abuse, and bullying. All issues are broken down in an engaging and easy-to-understand way, giving an overview of warning signs, symptoms, effects, coping skills, asking for help, and numerous resources to find the specific help you need.

    I like that the subjects are treated with such openness and express that these issues can affect anyone regardless of social status or economics and should not be stigmatized. There are questions for teens or parents to identify warning signs in the behavior of their children, friends, or themselves. There is also a section on dealing with mentally ill parents that is often overlooked and can have long lasting effects on their teens. The message is also you are not alone. You don’t have to hide in the shadows feeling like you are the only one dealing with these tough issues. You deserve to be happy and there are concrete steps you and your teen can take to make that happen in a positive and productive way.

    This book offers many resources and tools to help provide open communications and provide a nurturing environment to address the emotional struggles and mental health issues facing your teen. I recommend this as a wonderful resource for parents and teens.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A light and well-thought dissection of an often ignored topic
    Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2024

    I liked that the authors take some time to explain their intentions behind the book. I consider this to be very important in a book meant for teens/adolescents. The tone of the text is very reassuring and meant to avoid panicking, regardless of whether the reader suffers from any of the issues being described.

    Each chapter begins and ends with some thoughtful pointers to act as take-aways. Plenty of statistics have been mentioned throughout the book. The sources for the same are mentioned at the end. However, the authors advise readers not to go deep into any of them the very first time they are reading the text.

    The book does a good job of giving the reader hope and assurance even if they are not directly suffering any of the issues being described. Although the core audience of the book is teens (and accordingly the reading level seems appropriate), many other sections of society too will benefit from reading this.

    Given the deep expertise of the authors, a lot of the information being shared is eye-opening. The whole book turns out to be very informative as issues are looked at from various perspectives. The accompanying questions also make it difficult to complete reading the book in one go as the reader's mind is filled with a lot of new information, as well as bunking long-running myths which take time to unlearn.

    However, a lot of the book seems like lists of points. While this may be helpful to make the information more skimmable, I felt that it slightly takes away the seriousness of the topic at hand. While the organisation of topics as a whole is very good, I would have liked it better if the actual subject matter was laid out in a better way.

    A much needed book for an age in life that’s filled with doubt, emotional turmoil, first experiences into adulthood. Mental health is at great risk in this age and the authors thankfully give us a list of Warning Signs as well as therapies (and emergency contacts) available. Chapter reflection allow for – well – reflection over your own mental health and the contents the offered by the chapter. From depression to phobia-related disorders and sexual abuse-induced trauma, Chang-Lim and Erickson offer a self-help manual that reminds adolescents of two simple truths: (1) seek help, and (2) be kind to yourself.

    Full 5/5 for me, especially since the book is helping me with my own mental disorders, along with the help from a fabulous therapist. THANK YOU, authors!

    This is the first of 3 planned volumes offering help to those going through adolescence – and will be a useful resource for their parents, friends and other family too.
    I have so far read and enjoyed everything Ms. Chang-Lim has published (both fiction and non-fiction), so my expectations were high. I was not disappointed.
    This is a practical workbook, clearly set out, logically presented and written in an accessible style. It also contains quotations to inspire, and lots of links for further reading. There is a detailed index at the back of source material for those who want to delve deeper.
    I highly recommend it, and look forward to reading the succeeding books in this series in due course. It deserves a wide audience. Five stars.
