BITING THE BIG APPLE

biting A MUST READ

PRAISE FOR BITING THE BIG APPLE

“A wonderfully written memoir: insightful, inspiring, informative, and funny. Marivir Montebon shares with us her story in the context of family history which is an integral part of the Philippine diaspora. You will love this book, and get a deeper understanding of the stories of immigrants, that many of them are made of courage and faith. It is a must read.”
LOIDA NICOLAS-LEWIS
Chairperson
US Pinoys for Good Governance

“A woman’s story, an immigrant’s story, a single parent’s story – all these and more in Biting the Big Apple. It’s a tale of strength that threads through the whole book and brings everything together in the end. It’s a tale of triumph that spans three generations, told in an easy, engaging style, with snippets of history. It’s both a personal journey, and a journey which finds a common tie with other life’s journeys that make this book an interesting read.”

“It is a bit unique and shows that our great country is still the land of opportunity. Regardless of how you got here, if you have a dream that’s big enough and a desire that’s strong enough, you can overcome any obstacle and achieve anything!”
JEFFREY STERN
Chairperson
National Federation of Filipino-American Associations (NAFFAA)
Connecticut Chapter

“Marivir Montebon tells a story that is both universal and unique. She writes about the death of her husband, her separation from her daughter and her escape to New York to start a new life with heartfelt honesty. Her triumph over adversity, her eventual reunion with her daughter, and her success in building a career as an international journalist infuse the book with a life affirming spirit. Biting the Big Apple is a story brimming with courage, hope, adventure, and, most of all, with love.”
TIMOTHY SHEARD,
