DESCRIPTION:
Mapa returns to Manilla as an adult for the funeral of her father and come to terms with her past. A graphic memoir about growing up in the Philippines in the 1980s with Duran Duran, Imelda Marcos, and the EDSA Revolution. A graphic love letter to her parents, family, friends, country of birth, and perhaps even to herself.
"A wonderful graphic memoir, tinged with humour and tenderness. Lorina Mapa offers up an intimate look at Philippine society and culture, but above all, a deeply endearing father-daughter love story."-- Michel Rabagliati
