Hello everyone,

I’m so proud to share with you the cover of my upcoming book — a story very close to my heart.

When the Frangipanis Are in Bloom is inspired by the extraordinary life of Nam, my beloved nanny and second mother. Set against the backdrop of war and upheaval in Vietnam, it’s a tribute to the her quiet strength, loyalty, and love.

This book is my way of honoring her — and inviting you into the world she lived, loved, and endured.

I can’t wait for you to read it.
