Publisher's Synopsis
"When your hometown is buried by lava, can you ever go home again? Restless and headstrong, Frances Kakugawa grew up in the sleepy backwater of Kapoho, downslope from one of the world's most active volcanoes. Echoes of Kapoho is a memoir in two parts--a tale of barefoot days in yesterday's Hawai'i, and the story of where life leads after her village vanishes forever in the historic eruption of 1960"--.
