Sue co-authored a book with Le Ly Hayslip. "The Bamboo Can Bend but Not Break" chronicles the extraordinary life and four-decade mission of Le Ly Hayslip—war survivor, peacebuilder, and humanitarian. Born amid the chaos of the Vietnam War, Le Ly rose from unimaginable hardship to become a bridge between nations, founding two major nonprofits that rebuilt schools, hospitals, and communities across Vietnam. Through intimate reflections and powerful photographs, the book reveals how faith, forgiveness, and resilience transformed trauma into compassion, and how one woman’s unyielding spirit helped heal generations scarred by conflict. This inspiring volume is not only a testament to courage and service—it is a call to action for anyone seeking to live a life of purpose and peace.
