Daughter of Moloka'i by Alan Brennert
5.0
Sequels of well loved books always have big shoes to fill. There’s always some trepidation going into it as a reader because the bar has been set so high with the first book. I was delighted to get my hands on a copy of the much anticipated sequel Daughter of Moloka’i and I was ecstatic that not only did it live up to my expectations, it exceeded them. Not only that but dare I say- book two may be my favorite.

Daughter of Moloka’i is the story of Ruth. Removed from her leprous parents at birth, the story starts with her arrival at the orphanage. The reader follows her years at the orphanage, her entry into her adopted family, growing up, and her eventual reconciliation with her birth mother.

This emotional tale is powerful and will stay with the reader long after the final page. Rich in history and scenic details, this is a fantastic book and firmly wedged its place in my top 10 favorite books of all time. Both Moloka’i and Daughter of Moloka’i are emotionally charged and solid 5 star reads for me. This sequel for me gets all of the stars. Thank you @stmartinspress for this advance reader in exchange for my honest review.
