Seventeen stories traverse borderlines, mythic and real, in the lives of
Filipino and Filipino American women and their ancestors.
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. Featuring figures familiar
from M. Evelina Galang’s other acclaimed and richly imagined novels and stories,
When the Hibiscus Falls dwells within the complexity of family, community, and
Filipino American identity. Each story is an offering, a bloom that unfurls its
petals and holds space in the sun.
