During the late winter of her twelfth year on the mainland, Rose Pualani Carvalho begins writing down her life story-starting with leaving Hawai'i after high school. The exercise begins as a way to capture her memories, especially after the sudden loss of several family members-an uncle, her grandfather, and a cousin-within mere weeks. But as her pen brings beloved memories back to life, Rose discovers something unexpected: the pull of home is stronger than she realized. Amid fear, judgment, and the ridicule of those around her, she must decide whether it's finally time to return to Hawai'i-and to the life she left behind.
