But for now, you don’t go to the rallies, you don’t join the student protests you go silent or change the subject when someone at your table in the canteen brings it up. It’ll take you a long time to talk about martial law, and you’ll never talk about it with anyone who lived through it with you. America Is Not the Heart is her first novel.

Leaving behind political upheaval in the Philippines, Hero De Vera starts over in San Francisco Bay Area, working as a nanny for her uncle. The following is from Elaine Castillo's novel, America Is Not the Heart.
