Castillo is part of a younger generation of American writers instilling literature with a layered sense of identity." — Vogue How many lives fit in a lifetime? When Hero De Vera arrives in America—haunted by the political upheaval in the Philippines and disowned by her parents—she's already on her third. Her uncle gives her a fresh start in the Bay Area, and he doesn't ask about her past. His younger wife knows enough about the might and secrecy of the De Vera family to keep her head down. But their daughter—the first American-born daughter in the family—can't resist asking Hero about her damaged hands. An increasingly relevant story told with startling lucidity, humor, and an uncanny ear for the intimacies and shorthand of family ritual, America Is Not the Heart is a sprawling, soulful debut about three generations of women in one family struggling to balance the promise of the American dream and the unshakeable grip of history. With exuberance, grit, and sly tenderness, here is a family saga; an origin story; a romance; a narrative of two nations and the people who leave one home to grasp at another. 533 Electronic reproduction.|bNew York :|cPenguin Books, |d2018.|nRequires OverDrive Read (file size: N/A KB) or Adobe Digital Editions (file size: 1328 KB) or Kobo app or compatible Kobo device (file size: N/A KB) or Amazon Kindle (file size: N/A KB). 650 7 Literature.|2OverDrive 650 17 Fiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 776 1 |cOriginal|z9780735222427 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3348729 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=5ed6fecd- 9d94-46d4-ac01-e5b02956f6b4&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/1523-1/ %7B5ED6FECD-9D94-46D4-AC01-E5B02956F6B4%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/1523-1/ %7B5ED6FECD-9D94-46D4-AC01-E5B02956F6B4%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover image
