This memoir kept things on the surface, which given the writers trauma, I can definitely understand. Overall, it was a really good read and I enjoyed learning more about Filipino culture.

Beautifully written. Always love hearing different perspectives and have been really into memoirs lately so this filled my niche. I really loved Grace's voice and her use of pictures and documents to help tell her story. This made me feel more connected to the characters and places she mentioned. TW: SA for anyone who wants to read this novel. It is a pretty heavy storyline but Grace is able to show the healing from generational trauma and how we can move forward while still continuing to deal with our past.
