Her Latest Book

By the Riverside of Kampuchea is an epic non-fiction novel that chronicles the intertwined lives of Sieu Van Tran and Vi Quoc Truong—two ordinary souls whose love and faith carried them through the extraordinary storms of the Indochina Peninsula’s violent past.

Set against the backdrop of war, famine, and exile, their story unfolds through the raw truth of human endurance. Sieu Van Tran, a Canadian–Chinese–Cambodian woman, confronts ethnic persecution, sexism, and the long shadows of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Alongside her devoted husband, Vi Quoc Truong, she endures the relentless trials of displacement, poverty, and loss—yet within those very valleys of darkness, they encounter a radiant light: the redeeming love of Jesus Christ.

Through meticulous research and deeply empathetic storytelling, Holly Du captures not only one couple’s journey of survival and faith but also the broader historical and cultural struggles of Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Hong Kong during times of war and upheaval. The result is a testament to resilience—a true story where suffering transforms into grace, and love becomes an anthem of redemption and hope.
