Today we'll discuss the book: "The Mango Tree" by Annabelle Tometich (2024).
Annabelle Tometich receives a shocking collect call from her mother, an inmate at Lee County Jail, which leads her to navigate the complexities of her family's history. She reflects on her mixed-race Filipina upbringing in suburban Florida, grappling with her father's death, her mother's longing for her homeland, and her own search for belonging. A family saga filled with rich memories from her childhood surrounded by mangoes, her journey from medical school aspirations, and becoming a restaurant critic.
