Saigon Serenade

Saigon Serenade - Love, Legacy, and the City that Never Stops Singing

Step into the neon-soaked streets of Saigon and fall head-over-heels into a story as intoxicating as midnight jazz and as raw as monsoon rain.

When Vietnamese-American war-journalist Linh returns to her birthplace, she's chasing ghosts-and finds one in Mara, the Amerasian daughter her father left behind. Armed with a cracked Polaroid, a Zippo lighter, and a saxophone that still remembers every apology, they unravel a forty-year mystery that spans refugee camps, rooftop races, jazz bars, and the river that keeps all of Saigon's secrets.

But this isn't just a love story.
It's a collision of bloodlines, guilt, and hope, told in lush prose that brims with warmth, heartbreak, and healing.
Every sentence is a slow-burn confession, every kiss a revolution, every lantern floated on the Mekong a promise that love can rewrite history.

What readers are calling "the most beautiful cry of the year," Saigon Serenade is for anyone who believes:

• daughters can finish the songs their fathers never completed
• cities keep receipts for love and loss
• a single dance in the rain can change everything

Turn the page, cue the saxophone, and let Saigon sing you home.
