ABOUT THE BOOK
Women Who Chase Butterflies
Women Who Chase Butterflies is a heartfelt story about finding beauty in life’s finite moments and the infinite possibilities they bring. It reminds us to accept the things beyond our control while changing those we can, and how these decisions will ultimately lead us to become who we are.
Louisa is an introverted and socially awkward young girl born and raised to a family of hardworking immigrants in Hong Kong’s fabled Walled City. She goes on a remarkable journey that brings her to Harvard and Wall Street and later becomes a successful, self-made entrepreneur who starts the headhunting industry in China. A series of personal losses and professional setbacks then causes her to suddenly question things she believed in and the life decisions that led her there.
Like a metamorphosis, Louisa embarks on a journey of self-discovery through writing and realises that everyone has a story to tell and that every story is unique – the more you know yourself, the more authentic the journey will be.

What Readers Are Saying
"An extraordinary journey by an extraordinary woman….Louisa gives 1000% to living life. Truly enjoyed reading the book. Louisa is a beautiful butterfly herself.”
Butterflies arrive unexpectedly and leave quickly, leaving only an impression. Opportunities are the butterflies of Louisa’s story. Rather than let her opportunities fly away, she grasped them and through hard work, dedication, and inspiration, Louisa built a leading multinational business and achieved success. Not all went well, difficulties had to be overcome, and at one point she overestimated her personal ability. But she focused on her client’s success and that of her team. This book is a very frank description of a life lived to the full that should inspire young people hesitant about their ability to strike out to make a difference. It is also a story of so many Hong Kong people of Louisa’s generation whose careers had unlikely beginnings but achieved much, and by so doing, built one of the great cities of China.
"Surprisingly juicy. The book has many features -- history, travel, and relationships. The M&A story was a page-turner.”
"A page-turner, and a most entertaining memoir."
"Reads like a classic novel!"
“Every page is filled with touching moments. My favourite is Chapter 9!”
