Publisher's Synopsis
-Established platform/readership: The author has prior published works with a solid following-a historical fantasy trilogy for middle grade/YA readers and a novel, Under the Almond Trees, that was a semifinalist in the Faulkner-Wisdom Creative Writing Contest in 2013.
-Popular setting: Hawaii is an extremely popular travel destination. The setting and aloha theme of this book will remind vacationers of a place they love, and allow those who haven't visited the islands a chance to experience them.
-Timely themes: In a time when women are finding their personal strength to overcome oppression, this book's themes (family support, abuse) resonate.
-High-profile blurb already secured: Olivia Hawker, best-selling author of The Ragged Edge of Night has already committed to blurbing the book.
