Kreatives Schreiben & Spoken Word Workshop
It’s 1904. Luki’s mountain village in the Philippines is under American occupation. Rather than following the prescribed path of marriage, Luki would much rather hunt in the forest. When U.S. President Roosevelt invites her to the World’s Fair in St. Louis, Luki doesn’t hesitate. She embarks on the long journey to the United States, hoping to find the freedom she longs for. Told with sensitivity and full of suspense, this book examines racism and colonialism against the historical backdrop of the World’s Fair.
