Opis

An eighteenth-century Spanish friar from Galicia, Spain, became an ancestor to countless descendants in the Philippines. This is a journey of one descendant in her relentless pursuit of discovering her mysterious foreign ancestry. Her near-impossible feat of tracing her roots has brought her to mountainous medieval towns in the northwestern Spain, down to remotely unspoiled provinces of central Philippines. Join her as she travels across the globe to the unbeaten path of her ancestral land of birth and crisscrossing the untrodden road of her ancestor's missionary calling. This quest will transport readers to an awe-inspiring rediscovery of the past and appreciate their importance and contribution to our present time.
