Waters Over the Islands: Memoirs from the Philippines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789199156026)

After attending a wedding in Manila, humanitarian doctor Amara Lumen is pulled into disaster response when Typhoon Tino devastates Cebu and the Visayas. Alongside a newlywed nurse and doctor, she joins local Red Cross and hospital teams, witnessing floodwater, faith, exhaustion, and extraordinary acts of care.
Waters Over the Islands is a lyrical standalone memoir about one week in the Philippines, a story of broken skies, Jollibee meals shared as gratitude, communities sheltering one another, and the quiet courage that remains after the storm.
