[Title] => Looking for mom, the OCW
[Summary] => Rosalia Reyes, Filipina caregiver, took her seat in a bus somewhere in Israel on Dec. 2, when a suicide bomber who boarded the same bus made sure it would be her and several others last ride.
No such high drama, approaching that of Greek bathos, occurs in Carla Pacis novel for young readers, OCW, about a young boys search for his mother. All told, the novels plot is not so much the difficulty of being an overseas contract worker, as it is about the consequences of such a phenomenon for the family left back home.
