Book Discussion

This is a debut novel with its roots in the mystical days of ancient times and its characters struggling with painful contemporary social/economic obstacles. Author Kawai Strong Washburn is described in a New York Times book review as a, “passionate writer [who] cries out for us to see Hawaii in its totality: as a place of proud ancestors and gods and spirits, but also of crumbling families and hopelessness and poverty; a place of mystery and beauty at every corner.” Readers are invited to consider the relationship between personal and community well-being, as well as to evaluate possible sources of healing and hope.

Our discussion will take place Monday, November 15, at 7:00 p.m. Please email April@rhumc.org so she can confirm location (online or in person) and send you the Zoom link if necessary.
