In the Country

Exploring themes of loss, displacement, and the quest for connection, this collection of nine stories highlights the diverse experiences of Filipinos and their diaspora. Through the lives of teachers, housemaids, mothers, and sons, the narratives delve into the universal longing for belonging and the challenges of navigating borders, both physical and emotional. This work introduces a powerful new voice in literature, resonating with anyone who has sought a place to call home.
