And when she accepts, she certainly isn't prepared to hear her mother's voice on the other end of the line. However, explaining the situation to her younger siblings afterwards was easy; all she had to say was, "Mom shot at some guy. He was messing with her mangoes." They immediately understood. Answering the questions of the breaking-news reporter--at the same newspaper where Annabelle worked as a restaurant critic--proved more difficult. Annabelle decided to go with a variation of the truth: it was complicated. So begins The Mango Tree, a poignant and deceptively entertaining memoir of growing up as a mixed-race Filipina "nobody" in suburban Florida as Annabelle traces the roots of her upbringing--all the while reckoning with her erratic father's untimely death in a Fort Myers motel, her fiery mother's bitter yearning for the country she left behind, and her own journey in the pursuit of belonging." -- Publisher annotation. 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 21st century $v Biography. 600 10 $a Tometich, Annabelle, $d 1980- 651 0 $a Florida $v Biography. 650 0 $a Filipinos $v Biography. 941 $a 2 952 $l ZKPC437 $d 20240412132339.0 $m ANF 920 T 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409013004.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CEFD69F2F63611EE80258AC022ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
