Traveling to the city alone to inform his father of his sister’s birth, a ten-year-old boy confronts injustice for the first time. A teenage girl makes a life-and-death decision for her delinquent brother. The father of a girl who survived the raging floods notices her unusual treatment of her prized rag doll. An unknown perpetrator threatens to release a local beauty queen’s nudes. The girl, now with a name, is recruited into an infamous white man’s home in a secluded old subdivision. In these ten stories, the so-called City of Golden Friendship is a space of progress and bliss tempered by decay and self-destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSet at a time in the city’s history that will soon be known as pre-metropolitan, this short story cycle follows characters arriving or escaping into a migrant city peopled with hopeful settlers and souls harboring private terrors, amplified by their desire to be loved or to belong within a culture in constant waiting for the next fall from grace. At times bleak but at all turns grounded and vivid, The Fireline: Stories from Cagayan de Oro is an ode to a city ever in flux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthor: NH Legaspi\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN\/ISSN: 9786210900699\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Literary, Short stories\u003cbr\u003e\nCopyright: 2024\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 170pp\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 6 x 0.4 x 9 in.\u003cbr\u003e\nType: PB\/SP\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philippine Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51533343621412,"sku":"PB-44003","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/3794\/3588\/files\/ph-11134207-7rasd-m6dgb28dkvpe5c.jpg?v=1767387598","url":"https:\/\/www.philippinebooks.com\/products\/the-fireline-stories-from-cagayan-de-oro-by-nh-legaspi","provider":"Philippine Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
