A Letter to My Father: Growing Up Filipina and American

Autor Helen Madamba Mossman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 31 mar 2008

"A Filipina American woman recalls her childhood during wartime and peace"

Going from the jungles of the wartime Philippines to the schoolyards of northwestern Oklahoma is no easy transition. For one twelve-year-old girl, it meant distance not only across the globe but also within her own family.

Born to a Filipino father and an American mother, Helen Madamba experienced terrifying circumstances at a young age. During World War II, her father, Jorge, fought as an American soldier in his native Philippines, and his family camped in jungles and slept in caves for more than two years to evade capture by the Japanese. But once the family relocated to Woodward, Oklahoma, young Helen faced a different kind of struggle.

Here Mossman tells of her efforts to repudiate her Asian roots so she could fit into American mainstream cultureand her later efforts to come to terms with her identity during the tumultuous 1960s. As she recounts her father s wartime exploits and gains an appreciation of his life, she learns to rejoice in her biracial and multicultural heritage.

Written with the skill of a gifted storyteller and graced with photos that capture both of Helen s worlds, "A Letter to My Father" is a poignant story that will resonate with anyone familiar with the struggle to reconcile past and present identities."
