Sampaguita Roots is my first novel that I am currently working to edit and self-publish. In Sampaguita Roots, we follow the journey of a young woman traveling to the Philippines and reading a series of letters chronicling her family’s history, starting with the seldom-discussed Philippine-American War, following through to her family’s immigration to the United States. She begins with the goal of tracing her father - the family’s former hired help - to fulfill her mother’s last wish, but she soon finds herself on a journey of her own, where she will begin to question her ideas of success, strength, and self. I’ve just launched this project on Kickstarter, and I hope you’ll all show support for it in whatever way you can. Follow the clickthrough URL, and spread the word! Sampaguita Roots on Kickstarter!
