"Eye opener regarding history of Filipinos in this country and especially in California. The author's experience is horrifying and full of hope. The structure is strictly chronological. One traumatic event after the other. The author's patient voice and well-crafted sentences move you along. I couldn't put it down."
"Stories about people coming to America are plenty and I can't get enough of them. I fear that if these stories are not told (and read) that we are doomed to repeat the travesty and promote the adversity that makes our world a difficult and sometimes impossible place to live in. Empathy and compassion are novelties in the animal kingdom, I often need to remind myself that humans have the capacity for both."
