Love To Be Loved By You

The Long Way Back

by Hoang Le

Paperback2026

He had one year to love her. He has spent the rest of his life proving it was real.

Under the endless rain of a Pacific Northwest college town, Khoa — a Vietnamese international student with nothing but a dream and a borrowed car — falls for Lian, a brilliant, guarded girl who was never supposed to fall for anyone. For one luminous year, in stolen hours and tulip fields at sunset, they build a love with no borders.

Then a single reckless night takes everything. Khoa is torn out of the country — never knowing that Lian is carrying his child.

Thirteen years later, he comes home to a daughter he has never met… and a woman who has built a whole life without him.
