(3) 4-6 Sisters Sol and Ming, immigrants from the Philippines, live with their bitter stepmother in a rundown apartment, longing for their deceased mother, drowned middle sister, and absent father. Stories keep Sol afloat, but Ming is shattered to learn that adventurous Auntie Jove is only a myth. Funny and heartbreaking, this character-driven novel celebrates friendship and storytelling in all their diversity and complexity.
