This edition fills the gap of what we have to learn about Jose Rizal-that he was a son, an uncle, and a friend of many. It provides us with an intimate portrait of the hero beyond textbook biographies. The author not only writes about her personal knowledge of Rizal but of his family as well. Family love passed down from his sisters is told in a narrative that gives us a glimpse of the personal side of the man we know as our national hero.
