It's been a fantastic week for "The Mango Tree," with reviews in The NYT, WaPo and many more outlets. How does it feel, as a critic, to be critiqued? Eye opening.
I have been very moved by your book. I’ve laughed , And I’ve cried for a child that was forced to grow up way too soon. Not only did you survive but you have become a great mother and a fantastic wife to that son of mine.
I loved your book. As a Filipino American, your story resonated with me. Thank you for writing your memoir and amplifying the voices, feelings, and experiences of many Filipino Americans.
You deserve it all! At least all the positive praise, forget what all those other people say.

Thank you 🧡
Great NPR interview! And the book was worth the long anticipated wait. I ate it up and am searching for seconds..
Thank you! I’m working on those seconds :)
Congratulations! I imagine a good NYT review is just a terrific feeling. Great to hear that your book is doing well :)
