Quiet Strength
A Guide for the Filipina Wife in America
Available now
This book is a letter to my sister. Not the sisters I grew up with in the Philippines, though I love them too — but you: the woman who left home and is learning how to stay herself in a new country.

A letter for my sister
The pages I wish I had in year two
Leave your name and email. I will send you the letter and the first chapter as a PDF — the same pages I wish someone had handed me in year two.
Quiet strength is not silence. It is paying the bill, keeping your name on the paper, and refusing to disappear in someone else’s house. You can love your husband and still have a life that is yours.
