Tessie agana biography of michael

So much to enjoy about this book! Heartfelt and encouraging.

The author takes us by the hand into a charming world – an immigrant starlet marries ambitious doctor and raises 9 kids in the heart of Americana. It seems like fiction. This book was lovingly researched, and it both entertains and educates the reader (on Filipino culture). The author thoughtfully develops her unique characters and poses important questions about mental health, parenting, and priorities. A call to discover and honor the lives of our parents, and in return learn something about ourselves.
