Although her mother labels her life in exile a diminished one, Amparo believes her struggles are a small price to pay for freedom. Like Amparo, Beverly Obejas—an impoverished Filipina waitress—forsakes Manila and comes to Oakland as a mail-order bride in search of a better life. Yet even in the land of plenty, Beverly fails to find the happiness and prosperity she envisioned. As Amparo works to build the immigrant’s dream, she becomes entangled in the chaos of Beverly’s immigrant nightmare. Their unexpected collision forces them both to make terrible choices and confront a life-changing secret, but through it all they hold fast to family, in all its enduring and surprising transformations.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eASIN : 0451239849\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePublisher : Penguin Group, USA; First Printing (May 2013)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLanguage : English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback : 368 pages\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN-13 : 978-04-5-123984-6\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReading age : 18 years and up\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eItem Weight : 9.8 ounces\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions : 5.5 x 0.8 x 8.3 inches\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Philippine Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40130484732070,"sku":"","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/0785\/3478\/products\/15808657._UY400_SS400__1.jpg?v=1621577892"},{"product_id":"spooky-mo-horror-stories-by-marivi-soliven-blanco","title":"Spooky Mo: Horror Stories by Marivi Soliven Blanco","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOut of print title.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome to Marivi Soliven Blanco's little shop of horrors.
