Geronimo Tagatac has a gift--a thoughtful, descriptive voice using words that evoke a thousand pictures.

He relates the humble beginnings of immigrants as they find their way to the US through honest, hard farm labor. They retain a tenuous connection to their families (Philippine and work camp) holding onto the most basic and important values--simple shining truths and the love of parents for their children.

Tagatac poignantly shares the experience of second generation children finding their way in their new country: feeling different than and separate from the more privileged American children to which everything seemingly comes so easily; the pull of books and education--and the bridge it can build between the two cultures.

Tagatac's words instantly immerse the reader in the world he paints, allowing you to be a personal witness to the actions and feelings of the characters as they occur.

Touching, evocative, thoughtful, a reminder and lasting impression of the important things in life.
