About Noel Barber

And that’s exactly all about Soong and Dexter families. The Soong’s belong to the East while the Dexter’s to the West, and both families are wealthy even compared by today’s standards. The Soong’s are global traders, while the Dexter’s are shippers, tin miners, and owners of large rubber plantations. These commodities survived the families through both the tough and the best years. In between these two wealthy families are two lovebirds, John Dexter and Julie Soong. It all begins as a friendship, although under the careful watch of Mr. Soong, who kept his daughter under close watch due to the strict Chinese traditions. The initial setting of the story is in Singapore, where we meet the two as 8-year-olds. Rising to prominence with the Publication Order of Non-Fiction Books series, Noel Barber has since expanded their repertoire to include numerous successful works across various genres. Their writing style, characterized by compelling narratives and memorable characters, has earned them a dedicated global readership with millions of fans worldwide.
