When the hibiscus falls

Moving from small Philippine villages of the past to the hurricane-beaten coast of near-future Florida, ‘When the Hibiscus Falls’ examines the triumphs and sorrows that connect generations of women. Daughters, sisters, mothers, aunties, cousins, and lolas commune with their ancestors and their descendants, mourning what is lost when an older generation dies, celebrating what is gained when we safeguard their legacy for those who come after us.
