The Second Thread: A Quiet Continuation

I’m quietly grateful to share that the second book in the Woven by Love series has now been published.

Woven by Love: The Second Thread continues the journey that began in the first book — a story shaped by family, migration, faith, and the quiet ways love holds people together even when life pulls them across different lands.

This second book moves deeper into the years of learning, struggle, and healing that followed my first steps in Australia. Some chapters explore the loneliness of beginning again in a new country, while others reflect on the friendships, mentors, and moments of grace that slowly helped rebuild a sense of belonging.

As with the first book, food, memory, and family stories continue to weave through the pages. Many of the dishes shared in the book carry their own small histories — reminders that love is often expressed through the simplest acts: a meal prepared, a table shared, a quiet conversation that arrives at the right time.

Writing this book has been both a continuation and a discovery. Some stories took time to understand, and some only revealed their meaning years later. Looking back, I realise that the threads of our lives are often woven slowly, through patience, forgiveness, and faith.

If the first book was about remembering where love began, this second thread reflects on how that love continues to hold and shape us through change.

I remain deeply grateful to readers who have shared their encouragement since the first book was published. Your messages and conversations have been a quiet reminder that stories, once written, begin to belong not only to the author, but also to the people who find pieces of their own lives within them.

Thank you for reading and for walking a little further along this journey.

Warmly,

Angel Tien Le
