| Summary: | Hawaiian native Tita works to escape a vicious cycle of poverty and abuse, only to realize along the way that life can not only be better, it can be whatever she wants it to be. Take a deep dive into the lives of real Hawaiians as we follow Tita and other native women living and struggling against abuse and despair in a world controlled by tourism's long tail. These stories of resilience offer readers a glimpse behind the bird-of-paradise curtains and a look at what's not in the travel magazines. What is it like to live day in and day out in a place that everyone else considers paradise? To live within America but not be considered American enough? |
