Woven by Love Featured on Hope 103.2 Radio

I’m humbled and grateful that Woven by Love has been reviewed in the Australian Presbyterian magazine. Reviewer Lyn Barnes writes: “Overall, the book weaves together a serene patchwork of a mother’s love and a child’s journey, leading to the God of Love.” This national recognition is such an encouragement, and I pray the story of my mother’s quiet sacrifice and God’s guiding love will continue to touch hearts.

Woven by Love: The Second Thread continues a journey shaped by migration, faith, and the quiet work of rebuilding a life in a new land. Through family stories, small moments of grace, and the language of food and memory, this book reflects on the ways love slowly holds people together through seasons of change.

Angel Piano is a quiet corner where I share the melodies that have shaped my journey of faith, love, and grace.

Some blessings arrive quietly, like rain after drought. Others come like a flood — more than we ever thought to ask. This is a story about a prayer whispered long ago, a dream I thought had already been fulfilled, and the way God opened the floodgate of His kindness through the gift of a grand piano — resting now beneath the cross, shining like grace in the quiet of the night.

Some goodbyes arrive without sound — only the soft ache of what was never said. This piece is for the distance between a father and daughter, and for the grace that can still bloom in silence.

When my pot of phở spoiled overnight, I cried — then began again. In this quiet kitchen story, a lesson simmered beneath the lid: even when things go wrong, love still finds a way to start anew.

The Second Edition of Woven by Love is here! This updated edition carries the same heartfelt story of my childhood in Vietnam and early years in Australia, now with a new “What Readers Say” page and a few clarifying refinements. At its heart, the book remains a gentle tapestry of my mother’s sacrifice, the thread of God’s love, and the recipes and reflections that continue to touch readers.
