The Miles We Chase: Building a Future of Belonging in Education and Life The Miles We Chase is a powerful blend of memoir and movement, following one family’s journey of love, resilience, and advocacy while illuminating a universal struggle for belonging. When Nguyen’s daughter Ella was born with Down syndrome, her life became the lens through which he began to see the hidden barriers that keep too many students with intellectual disabilities from fully belonging in schools and communities at large. What began as a personal story of parenting and perseverance grew into a broader mission, one that weaves together lived experience, cultural reflection, and thoughtful research on inclusive post-secondary education. With honesty and clarity, Nguyen shares the joys and heartbreaks of family life, the systems that too often fall short, and the stories of students, families, and educators who refuse to wait for change. This book reveals how belief, advocacy, and persistence can open doors once thought permanently closed. Tender, urgent, and deeply human, The Miles We Chase is more than one family’s story. It is a call to action and a vision for the future, written for every parent, educator, policymaker, and reader who believes the next generation deserves a world built on inclusion and belonging.
