I do not provide text reviews. Am noting following author bio note bc it’s relevant to many readers given recent publishing/ book controversies and reader behavior changes.
Turns out this book is marketed as indigenous Hawaiian author except he’s 100% not. Described as “American Dirt for Hawaii” not entirely off the Mark. Just a heads up for anyone reading this as attempt to read native #ownvoices narrative. Google author bio for more info.
