After reading the first book, "Growing Up with Aloha", I just had to get the second book and see how the story continues. I'm glad I did. This was a great follow up to the story, filled with surprises, a little predictablity (for those who don't like surprises), and some joy and sadness.
Beautifully written. I felt like Nanea and all the other characters were real. For fans of the 1940s Home Front, American Girl, Hawaii, and Hula, this is a must. Great story for girls and young women.
