Holly Du

Holly Du is a former mental health social worker and lifelong writer whose work gives voice to real stories of struggle, faith, and redemption. 

Writing in Chinese since the age of fourteen, she has published fourteen non-fiction books across Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan, specializing in biographies that illuminate the strength of the human spirit. 

Now, in her first English work, By the Riverside of Kampuchea, Holly shares the extraordinary journey of Sieu Van Tran — a Canadian–Chinese–Cambodian woman who endures sexism, ethnic violence, famine, and trauma, and ultimately discovers healing and identity through faith in Christ.

Through every story she tells, Holly invites readers to witness how grace can emerge from even the deepest suffering.
