What do you do when your world has fallen apart, and there doesn't seem to be a way to put it back together? Abby Kai ulu (Kaw ee aw oo loo) gets the chance to start over when her family relocates from Hawaii to a small town on the Oregon coast. But she's hiding a secret. Leaving the past and the cultural lessons of her Hawaiian grandfather behind, Abby redefines who she is to hide it. There's Good Abby - she makes and follows the rules - and there's Bad Abby - she always questions them. But both leave Abby wondering: which one is she really? Her road of self-discovery takes her on a journey where she must discover the truth of who she is as a daughter, a sister, a woman, a Hawaiian and as a friend. But just when she thinks her world might be coming back together, it falls apart all over again.

Svět autorky od dětství spočíval ve vyprávění a fantazii. Tyto dva pilíře pohánějí její současnou profesi učitelky příběhů a autorky fantaskních děl. Toto zaujetí pro slova a imaginaci ji provází celým životem, od studií v Oregonu až po současné působiště na Havaji. Každodenní čtení a psaní je pro ni základním kamenem jejího tvůrčího procesu.
Gabe Daniels always figured his DNA is flawed. One only has to look to his past to see it, and it's why he's tried to hide it in new layers of his life: his new home, his adoptive parents, Seth, Abby. But darkness is always at his heels. With the impending death of his former best friend - a death for which he feels responsible - the depression, the broken relationships, the day-to-day struggle, and the monster trying to break out of him have left a debris field in his wake. Gabe decides the broken past that made him was always going to lead him down the road of no return. It is in his DNA, after all, in the biological parents who made him.
