About this product

Product Information

At the center of many good stories - inspiring, entertaining, admittedly corny - is Marie Claire Lim Moore. Ask her about the time she and her family sat down with former Philippine President Corazon Aqui. Or the time she built houses in Mexico alongside former American President Jimmy Carter. Equally engaging are her every day experiences and perspective on life. You will be interested to hear what she thinks is a relationship deal breaker or why Christmas should be regulated or why kids shouldn't say, I'm bored. After spending the early part of her childhood in Vancouver growing up with '80s sitcoms and Philippine People Power demonstrations, Claire moved to New York City at the age of twelve and attended the United Nations International School where she sang on stage with Debbie Gibson and received her high school diploma from Kofi Annan. She went on to study at Yale, climb the corporate ladder at Citi and jet set around the world. Don't Forget the Soap is a collection of anecdotes from different points in Claire's life: stories from the tight-knit Filipi community in Vancouver mix with memories of her move to New York, experiences at Yale and travels as a young executive. Underlying this narrative is the story of a global citizen who does t want to forget the fundamental values that come along with the immigrant experience as she and her husband raise their children in the increasingly glitzy expat bubble of Singapore. Her parents continue to remain a big influence in her life and her mother's reminders a grounding force. These stories will warm the heart and connect with people of any culture.
