Description

In this profound exploration of family and faith, Olamaiileoti Monroe embarks on a spiritual journey with her seventy-five-year-old father, Finau, to the Holy Land. As they navigate this sacred landscape, both father and daughter find themselves on a quest for deeper understanding and connection. The narrative centers on the intricate dynamics of family, weaving Polynesian culture into a broader global context. Through a deeply self-reflexive lens, the novel examines themes of heritage, belief, and the enduring search for meaning across generations.
