Acerca de esta escucha
When a military coup in Ghana leads to the abrupt closure of Lally Pia's medical school, she is stranded thousands of miles away from her family - and left with no educational prospects, no money, and a botched American Green Card. But a Sri Lankan priest told Lally's father that she will one day become a "Doctor of Doctors" - a laughable outcome, given her current predicament.
This multicultural roller coaster illustrates the power of self-determination as Lally takes on obstacle after obstacle - an abusive relationship, the welfare state and a gruesome job where she has to dismember human bodies - in order to fulfill her dreams. A searing examination of the immigrant experience. The Fortune Teller's Prophecy is a nail-biting, four-continent quest for ultimate triumph.

An amazing story of a well-lived life!
This story takes the author and the reader through different countries, varied life experiences, relationships, and challenges to end in a triumph of the spirit.
The author is honest about the mistakes she made in the name of love (who among us hasn't?), but finds the courage to stand up to an abuser and tell him off. That she then finds true love makes this almost a fairy tale. Her determination to set a good example for her girls is admirable, and they prove her right in the end.
My only suggestion, not a criticism, is that I wish she had included her husband and what he contributed during her initial disillusionment with med school and getting back into an extended program. Very little is mentioned of him during that period.
BTW, I am the Dr. Kumari she mentioned, and although I left UC Davis and did not teach her, I remember being her supervisor for the Donated Body Program!
Well done, Lally!

Captivating
This memoir was one of the best I’ve read! I was hooked to every detail and was left wanting more of Dr.Pia’s story.
