From the preface. This year (2021) marks the 46th year of the Southeast Asian Diaspora's Anniversary. It's been 46 years since our mass exodus from Southeast Asia, but for some, the war never left. There are those who still struggle with a plethora of mental health struggles, intergenerational trauma, deportation, environmental racism, and so many other issues that are not publicized in the media. Our struggles and our people are continued to be made invisible and erased from American history and media, but not anymore.The second, third, fourth and counting generation of Southeast Asians in America will continue to rise, to advocate for our communities, and fight to be seen, heard, and understood. This anthology is an effort of that.This anthology is a collection of second generation Southeast Asian-Americans' sorrows, struggles, and heart. We offer these pieces of ourselves to our community in hopes of promoting healing, growth, and prosperity.72 pages. Poetry and Essays.

When a Hollywood location scout comes to Applewood, Long Island, and announces that the local elementary school might make the perfect backdrop for an upcoming George Clooney movie, the PTA's decorum crumbles like a cookie from last week's bake sale. Enter Maddie, Ruth, and Lisa, three women who become the glue that holds the project together, forging a bond of friendship stronger than anyone could imagine. And not a moment too soon, as marriage woes, old flames, and scandalously embarrassing family members threaten to tear each of them apart. Is their powerful alliance strong enough to overcome the obstacles to getting the movie made in their town? And will their friendship be enough to mend their hearts and homes? Join them as they reach for the stars . . . and try to pull off a Hollywood ending of their own. At once tender and hilarious, Secret Confessions of the Applewood PTA is a captivating story that turns suburbia upside down . . . with more humor, heartache, and heat than one PTA can hold.
