#CulturePH - A Tooth in My Popsicle by David Haldane
What began as a desperate tale underwent a stunning change. A Tooth in My Popsicle, a new book by Mindanao Gold Star Daily contributor David Haldane, chronicles his experiences moving to the enchanted Filipino Island of Siargao with his wife, Ivy.
In the narrative, Haldane describes his voyage from his home in Los Angeles, California, to his wife's homeland on the renowned but strange island paradise. The articles in this book chronicle his journey, from the first time he asked his future wife to immigrate to the United States for a fresh start to the wonder of hope with two small children.
“I wrote this book to tell the story of a transformative adventure, sometimes frightening, often frustrating, occasionally hilarious, but always, I hope, entertaining,” Haldane explained.
“I hope A Tooth in My Popsicle motivates other dreamers to pursue what their hearts truly desire.” |
Haldane is a former Los Angeles Times staff writer with over twenty years of experience at that publication. His two previous books are the award-winning memoir, Nazis & Nudists, and a short-story collection called Jenny on the Street.
When David’s not writing books, he produces a weekly newspaper column called Expat Eye, for one of Mindanao’s premiere news outlets, the Mindanao Gold Star Daily.
