In Helen Hoang's Novels, Autism Is No Bar To Love And Happiness
Helen Hoang's romances feature characters on the autism spectrum — as she herself is; she says she wants to show that autistic people can get their happily-ever-afters just like anyone else.
Esme Tran supports her family — including her five-year-old daughter — by working as a maid in a Ho Chi Minh City hotel. Until the day a wealthy Vietnamese American woman offers her an opportunity: Come to California and accompany her son Khai, who is on the autism spectrum and has never had a girlfriend, to a summer's worth of family weddings.
That's the setup for Helen Hoang's new novel, . And of course, Khai resists his mother's matchmaking — but it wouldn't be much of a romance
