Daughter of Moloka'i

Alan Brennert
Book - 2019

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<U+2015>and then, after the war, to the life-altering day when she receives a letter from a woman who says she is Ruth<U+2019>s birth mother, Rachel. Daughter of Moloka'i expands upon Ruth and Rachel<U+2019>s 22-year relationship, only hinted at in Moloka'i. It<U+2019>s a richly emotional tale of two women<U+2015>different in some ways, similar in others<U+2015>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<U+2019>s the powerful and poignant tale that readers of Moloka'i have been awaiting for fifteen years.
