A young daughter of the legendary Hawaiian Naupaka dynasty dreams of healing the rift in her family by competing in and winning the next Miss Aloha Hula contest.
Hakes’s ambitious and poignant debut centers on a Hawaiian girl’s coming-of-age in Hilo, as she deals with not knowing her father and being shunned for looking white. Hi'i's mother and grandmother were Miss Aloha Hula winners and Hi'i wants to carry on the tradition, despite not looking Native Hawaiian. Through the lens of hula and the the lives of three generations of women in a Native family, author Hakes presents an unflinching look at the challenges and ties of family, community, culture, and the history of Hawai‘i.
Hula is available to check out in regular print, e-book, and e-audiobook formats.
