The story of three little girls bonded by blood and experience as they navigate through their childhood life, laden with uncertainties, poverty, and cruelty. Where they have to deal with problems of their own. Children's lives in the 90s, where they had to endure living in a strict atmosphere, ruled by religion, severe discipline, and injustice at the hands of the adults who should have known better. This is the author's (Baby Girl) childhood story and those of her two cousins (Joy and Donna), and of the hundreds of children they grew up with. Baby Girl was tormented with insecurities of being different than her peers and being bullied for one, and her story of how to be young and in love with a boy who did not even acknowledge her existence. Joy, who was forced by circumstances to grow up fast, and what it meant for her and her large family to live below the poverty line. And Donna, who had to grow in isolation, away from family, and the feeling of melancholy that was not given importance by the very people she trusted the most. Three girls who had to face uncertainties and injustices by relying on bravery, fortitude, and great friendship. A life unique to the town of Oslob, where the main livelihood is fishing. And the makeshift fishing village they established in the faraway island of Palawan as a gateway to the high seas of the South China Sea.
