From the author of the National Book Award finalist\u00a0Patron Saints of Nothing<\/em>\u00a0comes an emotionally charged, moving novel about four generations of Filipino American boys grappling with identity, masculinity, and their fraught father-son relationships.<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nWatsonville, 1930.<\/strong>\u00a0Francisco Maghabol barely ekes out a living in the fields of California. As he spends what little money he earns at dance halls and faces increasing violence from white men in town, Francisco wonders if he should\u2019ve never left the Philippines.
\r\n
\r\nStockton, 1965.<\/strong>\u00a0Between school days full of prejudice from white students and teachers and night shifts working at his aunt\u2019s restaurant, Emil refuses to follow in the footsteps of his labor organizer father, Francisco. He\u2019s going to make it in this country no matter what or who he has to leave behind.
\r\n
\r\nDenver, 1983.<\/strong>\u00a0Chris is determined to prove his overbearing father, Emil, can\u2019t control him. However, when a missed assignment on \u201cancestral history\u201d sends Chris off the football team and into the library, he discovers a desire to know more about Filipino history\u2015even if his father dismisses his interest as unamerican and unimportant.
\r\n
\r\nPhiladelphia, 2020.<\/strong>\u00a0Enzo struggles to keep his anxiety in check as a global pandemic breaks out and his abrasive grandfather moves in. While tensions are high between his dad and his lolo, Enzo\u2019s daily walks with Lolo Emil have him wondering if maybe he can help bridge their decades-long rift.
\r\n
\r\nTold in multiple perspectives,\u00a0Everything We Never Had\u00a0<\/em>unfolds like a beautifully crafted nesting doll, where each Maghabol boy forges his own path amid heavy family and societal expectations, passing down his flaws, values, and virtues to the next generation, until it\u2019s up to Enzo to see how he can braid all these strands and men together.<\/p>\r\n<\/section>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n \n\n
