I specifically saved this book for when we moved to Hawaii, and we did so this the 1st of this month. I've been very busy with the move and getting the family situated, so it took me much longer than normal to get through this book, but it was such a great story.
Following Rachel on her journey from a scared 7 year old child who was separated from her family in Honolulu and sent away to Moloka'i to live with the other Lepers, to a strong young woman who comes into her own on the island, through her marriage, birth of her child and all the love, loss and heartbreak that falls in between was amazing.
I laughed and I cried reading about Rachel's life (I'll admit that I cried a bit more than laughed, but it's ok). I loved where the story went and am so glad I waited to read this. Reading it while living here on the Island (we're on Oahu) made this story come alive for me even more. I absolutely recommend this to anyone who's interested, and I plan to start Mr. Brennert's other novel 'Honolulu' shortly. After reading this, I'm definitely looking forward to it.
