      abstract = {Banished by her wealthy Filipino family in Manila, Amparo  Guerrero travels to Oakland, California, to forge a new  life. Although her mother labels her life in exile a  diminished one, Amparo believes her struggles are a small  price to pay for freedom. Like Amparo, Beverly Obejas an  impoverished Filipina waitress forsakes Manila and comes to  Oakland as a mail-order bride in search of a better life.  Yet even in the land of plenty, Beverly fails to find the  happiness and prosperity she envisioned. As Amparo works to  build the immigrants dream, she becomes entangled in the  chaos of Beverlys immigrant nightmare. Their unexpected  collision forces them both to make terrible choices and  confront a life-changing secret, but through it all they  hold fast to family, in all its enduring and surprising  transformations.},
