danishinaabe 's review for:

Kuleana: A Story of Family, Land, and Legacy in Old Hawai'i by Sara Kehaulani Goo

5.0

emotional informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

---

I cannot put into words how important this book/audiobook is. As an Anishinaabe person, I felt Sara Kehaulani’s pain and love for her land. This book was a journey of finding one’s identity, connecting with ancestral land, reconnecting with family and finding one’s spirit. I don’t have the ability to type how much I loved listening to this, the emotions it brought up and the love I have for the writer. Miigwetch for teaching everyone who will read and listen to this book about your family, your lands and your people’s history. 

Having the author as the narrator was really the only choice for this recording. Hearing the Hawaiian words in her voice, hearing her sing the songs and hearing the pure love in her story made this all the more special. 

I can’t recommend this book enough. 

Thank you so much to Macmillan Audio for providing me with an advanced copy of this audiobook.
