About The Book
"...a testament to the remarkable strength it takes to pursue one’s aspirations against all odds, and a powerful reminder for anyone who has faith in oneself and dares to dream big.” — Camille Burns, CEO Women Presidents Organization
"...a blueprint for anyone with big dreams and the determination to make them happen.” — Drew Scott, Founder Scott Brothers Global/Property Brothers
“You have been conducting fraudulent activities. I am the rightful majority owner, not you.” Unannounced, my business partner walked into my office and recited a list of reasons why I was being fired. “You will be deported. Please pack your things and leave or I’ll call the police to remove you.”
“What are you talking about?! What…” I couldn’t breathe. He gave me no time to digest what was happening. Within moments, two police officers were standing on either side of him. They must have been waiting for his call.
“I’m sorry, ma’am, but you have to leave the premises.”
...
Jenny Jing Zhu is a first-generation Chinese immigrant and proud Asian American. At an early age it became clear she was cut from a different cloth, defying her parents’ wishes and cultural expectations. From finding her first job at age six in the small rural village of Caolou to learning about the realities of entrepreneurship, life, and love in Bejing as an older teen, Jenny relied on her instincts to follow her dreams. After building a string of small businesses, she landed in San Francisco as a newly married twenty-six-year-old to embark on the most challenge-filled yet rewarding adventure of her life.
Jenny’s inspiring and often humorous story offers women, immigrants, and new entrepreneurs an unvarnished look at the resilience and intuition she developed while weaving her dreams. She shows readers what it means to do the same by uncovering the strands of their own experiences and weaving them into a unique and beautiful tapestry.

“I once asked the legendary Quincy Jones why some talented musicians succeed while others don't. His answer was a single word: personality. Indeed, success and failure in life often come down to personality—and that's certainly true of Jenny Zhu. She has the most delightful personality I know, like a ray of sunshine—always happy and optimistic about people and events. People love being around her and working with her.” —Yue-Sai Kan, Fashion Icon, Successful Entrepreneur, Best-Selling Author, and World-Renowned Philanthropist
“The first time I met Jenny and learned about her journey—rising from poverty in China to build a successful business in America—I was truly inspired. She strikes the perfect balance between being laid-back and a fierce go-getter, showing kindness and dedication in everything she does. Jenny is a true role model, and I’m so proud to call her my friend. If you want to feel inspired and empowered, read her book.” — Kim Clijsters, Former World No. 1 Tennis Player, Four-Time Grand Slam Champion, and International Tennis Hall of Fame Inductee
“Jenny Jing Zhu is one of the most inspiring and driven people I’ve met, and that’s echoed in every page of Dream Weaver. Her journey from a small village in China to leading a successful company in the U.S. is filled with lessons on perseverance, making bold choices, and following your vision no matter the odds. It’s a blueprint for anyone with big dreams and the determination to make them happen.” — Drew Scott, Founder Scott Brothers Global/Property Brothers
