A review by alicewonders
Daughter of Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

I think this whole little series is well summed up by this quote:
"In Hawai'i I was honored to hear long, beautiful meles- songs or chants- joyously singing the history of an Ohana, a family, going back twenty generations or more. It is like hearing a chorus of voices singing across time itself. You have a Japanese legacy... but our blood is not your blood, no matter how much we love you and you love us. You have songs to hear from your Hawaiian mother, and songs to be revealed, perhaps, of your Japanese father... I cannot wait to hear the songs you sing back to us."
