Fed up with the noise of local tsismosas (gossips), she moves to Virginia Beach to teach myth and history to Filipino American youth. Isa Manalo walks into the chaos of drive by shootings, beauty pageants, and community politicking.

Eventually Isa fights back. As Hurricane Emilia brews at the edge of the east coast, Isa opens her house to a local girl gang and nourishes their troubled spirits, instigating change sudden as the shift of tropical winds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublisher ‏ : ‎ New Issues Poetry and Prose; 1st edition (March 1, 2006)\u003cbr\u003eLanguage ‏ : ‎ English\u003cbr\u003eHardcover ‏ : ‎ 321 pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1930974582\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1930974586\u003cbr\u003eItem Weight ‏ : ‎ 1.96 pounds\u003cbr\u003eDimensions ‏ : ‎ 6.5 x 1.4 x 9.5 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New Issues Poetry and Prose","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891439693990,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/files\/71hVBR51RyL._SL1280.jpg?v=1710033412"}],"url":"https:\/\/philippine-bookshop.myshopify.com\/collections\/filipino-american-experience-filipinos-in-the-diaspora-women-writers-evelina-galang.oembed","provider":"Philippine  Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
