  “Extremely interesting and sad story about generations growing up in Hawaii. A little slow in the very beginning but really good.”

  “This book wasn't easy to read because in many ways, it made me sad. But sad, isn't bad-- it can be powerful and transforming. I love literature that focuses on feminine empowerment. I am saddened when I am confronted with the disgrace of one culture destroying another by domination. And although this is and has been the human condition, I see a new paradigm arising. I am deeply connected to the Hawaiian culture. When I read this book, it helped me to realize how important it is, to be a part of the solution for healing its..'aina---land. I am now a part of Hawaii's solution-- and I am grateful to this book to assist me in understanding how important it is for me to approach this process in the sanctity it deserves. ”

  “You have to understand islanders to really get this book. You have to have heard at least a little pigeon in your time. Pono is a strong, amazing woman who loves a man and her children through everything. Her life story is heartbreaking and awakening. I loved this book. You have to read it. ”
