A powerful Filipino American family saga spanning four generations — now in paperback.
From acclaimed author Randy Ribay, Everything We Never Had weaves a deeply moving narrative of identity, masculinity, and generational trauma through the lens of Filipino American history.

Set across four time periods — Watsonville (1930), Stockton (1965), Denver (1983), and Philadelphia (2020) — this award-winning novel follows the lives of the Maghabol family’s fathers and sons. Each era brings new challenges: racism, assimilation, mental health, and inherited silence. But at the heart of it all is a yearning to understand one another, to connect across time, and to heal.

Perfect for readers 12 and up, this coming-of-age novel is ideal for fans of intergenerational narratives, multicultural fiction, and those exploring Filipino identity in America. A must-read for educators, teens, and families alike.
