The Land of Forgotten Girls

Two sisters from the Philippines, abandoned by their father and living in impoverished circumstances in Louisiana, fight to make their lives better. Soledad has always been able to escape into the stories she creates, just like her mother could. Since their mother and sister's death and their relocation to Louisiana by their father who eventually abandoned them, Soledad and her youngest sister Ming are left with their evil stepmother, Vea. Soledad protects Ming, but Ming starts to believe that their mythical world-traveling Auntie Jove will rescue them. Soledad wonders if her stories have caused more harm than good and if she can protect Ming from this impossible hope.
