Program Description

Event Details

The Mango Tree is a poignant and deceptively entertaining memoir of growing up as a mixed-race Filipina "nobody" in Fort Myers, Florida as Annabelle traces the roots of her upbringing—all the while reckoning with her father’s untimely death, her fiery mother’s bitter yearning for the country she left behind, and her own journey in the pursuit of belonging.

This book discussion will take place at Estero Recreation Center Room 103B. 

This program is part of the 26th anniversary Southwest Florida Reading Festival, to be held on Saturday, March 1. For more information about the festival and its featured authors, visit www.ReadFest.org.
