Sensitive twelve-year-old Boy Regis is ridiculed by his brother Damon, who calls him a sissy but insists on fighting his battles for him. Boy doesn't understand how his role as docile younger son has unseated Damon's singular relationship with their father. Salisbury gets the dynamic right between fathers and sons in this coming-of-age story of both brothers and also captures Hawaii's rich culture and beauty.
