The HP Book Club will meet on Friday, April 17, at 2:30 p.m. in the Activity Center to discuss The Mango Tree by Annabelle Tometich. In this poignant and entertaining memoir about growing up as a mixed-race Filipina in Florida, this medical student drop-out turned food critic reckons with her father’s untimely death, her mother’s yearning for the country left behind, and her own journey in the pursuit of belonging. One reviewer wrote that the book is “a powerful story providing full circle life lessons on the complexity of family, self-acceptance, discovery and healing.” Patrice Carroll will lead the discussion.
Club meetings are open to all residents who read the book. If you wish to be added to the HP Book Club mailing list, please email me.
