When i was last in Manolo with my husband and kids, i had the opportunity to read my Mama Emma's (my Dad's younger sister) life's work.
She has always fascinated me, my Ma Em.
She has always been the bookworm in the family.
She'd read endless books, newspapers. magazines... whatever she can lay her hands on.
She is more content at home washing clothes and ironing than go visit the neighbors.
She is a teacher by profession.
A mother to six children.
And she writes.
This is her recounting of the love story between her parents (my Lolo and Mama Lola).
An almost impossible love that withstood its challenges, and born a generation that is stronger and prinicpled.
I hope you will follow me on the journey that has formed my family.
