The Mango Tree: A Memoir of Fruit, Florida, and Felony by Annabelle Tometich

challenging emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

4.0

An amazing well crafted coming of age memoir. A half filipino young girl desperately hides her embarrassment of her mother and her culture while growing up in Ft Myers. But in adulthood, she comes to understand more. A touching story of how a girl interprets her mother’s mental struggles, and how family overcomes even the worst episodes to strengthen future generations. Highly recommended for mothers and daughter.
