Adobo In The Land Of Milk And Honey
What happens when a Filipino-American woman loses her soul to succeed in America?
Marisol Mendoza Moreau had it all-the corporate success, the American dream fulfilled-but at what cost? Her Filipino heart had withered, her cultural roots severed like cut telephone wires. She was a stranger in her own skin, a ghost haunting her ancestors' disappointed spirits.
Then came the reckoning.
A journey to the Philippines-the homeland she'd never visited, abandoned for boardrooms and bottom lines-becomes a desperate race against cultural extinction. Every adobo recipe that her grandmother once whispered becomes a lifeline. Every street corner in Manila holds the key to her salvation. Every conversation with her forgotten countrymen threatens to either resurrect her true self... or bury her forever in shame.
This is more than a debut homecoming. This is a woman fighting for her very identity.
In a world where success demands sacrifice, how much of yourself can you lose before there's nothing left to save?
"Adobo in the Land of Milk and Honey" is a searing, unforgettable journey through the heart of what it means to be Filipino American-and the price we pay for belonging anywhere at all.
"Some recipes can't be found in cookbooks. Some can only be found in the soul."
