Woven by Love

A Memoir by Angel Tien Le

Woven by Love is the true story of a girl growing up in a small Vietnamese village — where faith flickered, food healed, and a mother’s love stood between suffering and survival.

 

Told with poetic tenderness, Angel Tien Le’s debut memoir invites you into a world of jasmine tea, broken rice, scholarship dreams, secret pain, and unexpected grace.

 

From Vietnam to Australia, this is a journey of loss, resilience, and spiritual restoration — where each chapter is stitched with memory, food, and faith.

Woven by Love is now available in eight public libraries across Western Sydney, has been reviewed in the Australian Presbyterian Magazine, and is a candidate for the 2026 SparkLit Christian Book of the Year Award. The journey continues with an upcoming interview on Hope 103.2, where Angel will share more about the story behind the memoir.

Endorsed by readers including pastors, doctors, and academics, this memoir continues to move hearts with its honesty, beauty, and unshakable hope.

"A beautiful account of Angel’s life struggling through hardship but also wonderfully touching moments with those who helped make her the strong and caring person that she is today.  A great reminder of how great our God is and how he works in unexpected ways to shape our lives.  A beautiful read and insight into this wonderful author."

"Nobody gets to choose the life they are given. We only get to choose how we will show up. This captivating Memoir has shown me that even when life is a constant struggle, full of hardships & desperate times ... 

When you choose to be - 

 

1. Wise and fierce in love; hardworking and empathetic (mother)

2. Supportive and protective (brother)

3. Insightful and initiative taking (girl)

4. Aware of the grace of a good God

5. Make mealtimes a space of love, comfort and peace … (there’s a bonus recipes section at the end of the Memoir)…

 

You are never poor, but are rich and blessed indeed."

What Readers Say

Judy Bell

"It (Woven by Love) made me laugh

It made me cry

It made me remember things from my childhood that had dimmed in my memory

It made me remember things that made me stronger  and the things that brought me pain, that God helped me to overcome with forgiveness."

Paul Tai Huynh

Pastor, PhD in Christian Counseling

“Woven by Love is more than a memoir — it’s a testimony of faith, grace, and the quiet power of a mother’s love. Angel writes with gentleness and spiritual clarity. Her story will speak deeply to hearts that have endured much.”

Andrew Le

author's beloved husband

"When I read the chapter ‘The Strongest Silence,’ my heart skipped a beat — no, actually quite a few beats. Angel captured the world through the eyes of a five-year-old girl facing cruelty from her friends — not with bitterness, but with a tender strength that is truly remarkable. The way little Tien hides her wounds to protect her mother reveals a love so quiet, yet so powerful. Writing from a child’s point of view is incredibly difficult, but Angel did it with rare beauty and restraint. It left me wondering — not only as her husband, but as a reader — how many hearts this book will touch."

“Angel writes so beautifully and I was hooked from the moment I read the first page. I tried not to read too fast, as every page was so moving and touched my heart. Her faith, strength and determination are an encouragement to us all.”
