The Mango Bride

Two women, two cultures, and the fight to find a new life in America, despite the secrets of the pastâ€¦

Banished by her wealthy Filipino family in Manila, Amparo Guerrero travels to Oakland, California, to forge a new life.Â Although her mother labels her life in exile a diminished one, Amparo believesÂ her struggles are a small price to pay for freedom.

Like Amparo, Beverly Obejasâ€”an impoverished Filipina waitressâ€”forsakes ManilaÂ and comes to Oakland as a mail-order bride in search of a better life.Â Yet even in the land of plenty, Beverly fails to find the happiness and prosperity she envisioned.

As Amparo works to build the immigrantâ€™s dream, she becomes entangled in the chaos of Beverlyâ€™s 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.
