Kate is miserable when she moves with her father and brother from the mainland to Hawaii to live near her father's family. While her brother looks Hawaiian and easily fits in, Kate, who looks like her white mother, is the victim of much racism but eventually finds a way to embrace her Hawaiian side. Readers will be sympathetic to Kate's situation and interested in the details of life in Hawaii.
