I just published "The Zigzag Road", a memoir about my parent's life before and during WWII. I'm trying to reach more Filipino readers because some of the events my parents experienced were not in history books and besides being educational, it is a beautiful love story full of suspense and wartime terror.

Kirkus Reviews of The Zigzag Road.Morgan’s novelistic account of her father’s way home is riveting; it not only thrillingly conveys the danger Benjamin confronted, but also the endless resourcefulness and courage of the people of Batangas. . . the portrayal of the “uncertainties of time” that plagued the country is gripping. The plight of the Philippines following the bombing of Pearl Harbor is often neglected by writers and historians alike, and this is a welcome correction to that absence.
A captivating look at the sudden transformation of the Philippines by war.
Are you on www.thenewfilipina.com website? There is a book club in that community. I will check out the book as I only recently learned about the Philippines involvement in WWII and don't know much about this time.
