Making Pink Lemonade

Making Pink Lemonade is the debut effort of irrepressible write-aholic Carolyn Lim.

Struck by lightning while windsurfing on 10 September 2006, the spunky, sporty extrovert is now recovering from the scars of that horrific accident. Carolyn lost none of her courage or effervescence and emerged from the experience a fighter. Now well on the road to recovery, she is eager to make a difference with her life.

Making Pink Lemonade is a buoyant tale about the triumph of the human spirit. It is a poignant story of the disaster that struck down a young lady in her prime and how her life was changed as a result. As Carolyn slowly and painfully picked herself up again, we are treated to an uplifting account of how she refused to be defeated by fate and defied the odds to stage a “comeback”.

In Making Pink Lemonade , Carolyn discusses the lessons about life that she has learnt along the way while making candid observations of the sights she has seen on her journey. A narrative that is carried out almost like a conversation between the author and the reader, Making Pink Lemonade is in turns heart-breaking and quirky. Carolyn’s journal entries are also included to give the reader a more concrete grasp of her “real-time” thoughts and emotions then.

One thing for sure, every bit of Making Pink Lemonade is infused with Carolyn’s signature wit.
