Description
The Mango Tree: A Memoir of Fruit, Florida, and Felicity Annabelle Tometich's memoir is a poignant and deceptively entertaining tale of growing up as a mixed-race Filipina in suburban Florida. The story begins with a phone call from an inmate at the Lee County Jail, a moment that sets in motion a journey of reckoning with her family's past and her own search for belonging. As Tometich navigates the tangled branches of her life, she recounts her childhood days in a flooded house filled with balikbayan boxes, vegetation, and juicy mangoes. She also shares her winding path from medical school hopeful to restaurant critic, a career that has given her a platform to explore the complexities of her identity. With clear-eyed compassion and piercing honesty, Tometich weaves a family saga that explores the intricacies of her relationships with her mother, father, and siblings, and the ways in which these connections have shaped her life.
