In her early-20s, Marisa de los Santos made her first visit to the Philippines, where her father was born. The author has made several return trips since then, and folded aspects of her native culture into the bestselling novels Love Walked In and Belong to Me. Now, in FALLING TOGETHER (on sale October 2), Cebu City and the surrounding islands of the Philippines come vividly to life in a profoundly, engrossing tale of lost friendships, long-kept secrets, and the importance of human connection.

Generations Restaurant is conveniently located at 9 State Road (at “Five Points”), Media, PA; free parking is available on the premises.

Book clubs are welcome and may reserve tables. For more information on ticket sales, contact Helen Subbio at DCLS, 610-891-8622. You must be present to win the Sony e-book reader.
