Local: A Memoir by Jessica Machado

5.0

Local tells the true story of the author, who was born in Hawaii, and has NH lineage through her father and his line.  She talks about growing up in Hawaii with her parents, including her white born in the southern region of the   US mother.  The author gives us a glimpse into her upbringing as well as local history facts.  I am definitely going to read the resources the author gives us in the book to learn more about the historical aspects of the area.
