In One Tribe, the dealth of Isabel Manalo's unborn child stirs widespread speculation in her small Midwestern suburb. Fed up with the noise of tsismosas (gossips), she moves to Virginia Beach to teach myth and history to Filipino-American youth, and walks into a chaotic world of drive-by shootings, beauty pageants and community politicking. At every turn she butts heads with the youth gangs who distrust her, the community elders who disapprove of her loose outsider ways, and a Filipino boyfriend who accuses her of acting too white. Eventually Isa fights back. As hurricane Emilia brews at the edge of the east coast, Isa opens her house to a local girl gang and nourishes their troubled spirits, instigating change as sudden as the shift of tropical winds.
