Alan Brennert's beloved novel Moloka'i, currently has over 600,000
copies in print. This companion tale tells the story of Ruth, the
daughter that Rachel Kalama - quarantined for most of her life at
the isolated leprosy settlement of Kalaupapa - was forced to give
up at birth. The book follows young Ruth from her arrival at the
Kapi'olani Home for Girls in Honolulu, to her adoption by a
Japanese couple who raise her on a strawberry and grape farm in
California, her marriage and unjust internment at Manzanar
Relocation Camp during World War II - and then, after the war, to
the life-altering day when she receives a letter from a woman who
says she is Ruth's birth mother, Rachel. Daughter of Moloka'i
expands upon Ruth and Rachel's 22-year relationship, only hinted at
in Moloka'i. It's a richly emotional tale of two women - different
in some ways, similar in others - who never expected to meet, much
less come to love, one another. And for Ruth it is a story of
discovery, the unfolding of a past she knew nothing about. Told in
vivid, evocative prose that conjures up the beauty and history of
both Hawaiian and Japanese cultures, it's the powerful and poignant
tale that readers of Moloka'i have been awaiting for fifteen years.
