Just as she begins to bond with the influential High Chiefess Pua and her daughter, Mahina, unexpected tragedy threatens to force her off the island. In a state of confusion, Emilymakes a decision that could destroy everything she knows and loves including her own sanity.Three decades later, Sister Theresa comes to the islands as a missionary nurse and becomes acquainted with Captain Farrow s charming son, a powerful man who is instrumental in Hawaii s alliance with America.
