Sample Book Insights:
#1 I was the first to see my brother Leon coming through the tall grass in the dry riverbed. He had come a long way. I ran to meet him, and when I saw him, I was shocked. He looked exactly like his picture on the family wall.
#2 I met my brother, who had gone to fight a strange war in Europe, when I was five years old. He had returned to our barrio, in the farming town of Binalonan, on the island of Luzon. The younger generation had become total strangers to the older generation, and they were rebelling against their heritage.
#3 My brother Leon met the girl who became his wife. She came from a poor family in the north, in the province of Ilocos Sur, where the peasants were overcrowded in a narrow barren land. She came to our barrio and hired herself to one of the farmers who had more hectares of land than the others.
#4 I saw my brother Leon, who had already sold one hectare of our land, leave the barrio with his wife to live in another part of Luzon. I had written him that I would pass through his town on my way to Manila, and asked him to stand in front of his house and wait for my bus.
