Mariquita—Revisited

"A landmark novel from the island of Guam is both a brutal story of war and a beautiful act of resurrection" - Lenika Cruz (The Atlantic, "His Mother's Life Was a Mystery He Needed to Solve") "On the surface, Maraquita is the CHamoru World War II story that too few people have read. Howard's careful research and imagination gives us access to the painful history of Guåhan during the Japanese occupation. On another level though, perhaps more important, Maraquita is a story of recovery—of a man writing to recover his connection to his mother and his people, and of the emotional labor that constitutes his journey" - Kiana Brown (Pacific Daily News, "'Maraquita — Revisited' is the story of home")
