BOOK
DESCRIPTION:
The
island of Maui.
A lost secret.
An oral chant involving Captain Cook.
A young man following the footsteps of his family around the island and into
the past.
Will Maui reveal her centuries-old secrets?
Will Kai find what
he seeks?
In this thriller-travelogue, a young man's journey to deliver
his father's ashes becomes a mad search when an oral chant suggests a valuable
artifact may be hidden near an ancestral altar. As Kai races to find his
family's sacred sites, he must navigate between the worlds of art theft, resort
development, family secrets, and Hawaiian ethnic identity. The book is both the
coming-of-age story of a young man, and the story of Maui itself --- the radical
transformations of the culture, religion, and landscape of one of the world's
most beloved islands.
