More Filipino-American Stories Worth Savoring.
We send boxes across oceans because we cannot send ourselves. We fill a garage table with beer and pulutan to give immigrant loneliness a place to dissolve. We learn to measure life not by the blueprint of a recipe blog, but by the intuitive, generational wisdom of how a dish smells when it's ready.
In Halo-Halo for the Soul: Second Helpings, author Andrew Linga delivers fifty unforgettable new vignettes that map the rich landscape of the Filipino-American dream. Moving seamlessly between bicultural humor and deep emotional truths, this anthology explores the invisible threads of obligation, love, and identity that tie generations together across vast distances of time and water.
Inside this volume, you will discover stories of:
Heritage & Reclamation: From reclaiming the mano po to finding the exact Tagalog words English simply cannot hold.
Silent Triumphs: Navigating corporate boardrooms, surviving the grueling journey of medical board exams, and fighting to make the invisible visible.
Pure Culture: The chaotic joy of bicultural wedding binders, the complex algorithm of assigned potluck dishes, and the absolute law of Sunday Best church clothes.
Discover the warmth, the laughter, and the sacred everyday moments of a community bound by love. Scroll up and add Second Helpings to your library today.
