Marrying Roque (pr. Row-key) is the author's story of meeting and later marrying a young Filipino who leaves his family to emigrate to the U.S. in the 1920's to pursue his dream to become a lawyer. Their relationship begins when Sylvia, a young Jewish girl seeking work in Depression Era L.A., gets a job in Roque's office. I'd never before known a Filipino, she wrote. She'd heard hateful slurs against them, belittling their size and dress. As time goes on, she becomes intrigued, not only with her boss, but with the food and culture of the Philippines.
