Sampaguita Roots Victoria Conlu

Filling in the blanks of her family tree was a promise Cheryl regretted making to her late mother, but one she reluctantly decides to keep. She arrives in Manila with the sole intention of finding her father and returning home to the States, to a life she loves - but she quickly discovers that her family's stories, found within a series of letters, shake the core of her understanding. With the guidance of her aunt Precious and a housekeeper by the name of Paulo, she pieces together a past - a family legacy of struggle, defeat, love, and hope.
