Description
In a rural Māori coastal community, the rhythms of the land and the bonds of the whānau sustain life through hardship and change. When the question of Kid’s parentage and custody—centered on Kiri—comes to the surface, it draws family members into difficult truths that have been carefully held back. As secrets emerge, loyalties are tested and the whānau faces the possibility of being torn apart, even as the community’s connection to place offers a path toward survival and renewal. Written in Patricia Grace’s distinctive, compassionate voice, this novel explores identity, belonging, and the enduring power of family and land to heal what history has wounded.
