Archie Gallagher hates his life in New York—his United Nations dad, his NYU education, his home in the Upper Eastside—so he travels halfway around the world, looking for what his Filipino mom once told him about.
Instead, he meets Anna Raymundo.
Beautiful, intelligent, cagey and ambitious, Anna’s one of the finer yields the fields her side of the Philippines had ever produced. She’s quite a gem—and outsider Archie Gallagher is going to pay the price.
In a ten-day love affair wherein sparks fly, tempers flare, and two unyielding personalities clash in a contest of wills, ORANGE is a journey into the minds and hearts of two individuals—both youthful, flawed, yet fundamentally sincere—and both struggling and eventually coming to terms with a world that once seem mad, despoiled, and cruel.
