On a small island in Hawaii, twenty-eight-year-old Kai is contemplating his life. He's a talented singer-songwriter, stuck playing other people's music for tourists at the local bar. With his own songs and with that voice, he has the potential to be the next big thing. But as much as he lives and breathes to play music, Kai knows he will never leave the island to pursue his dream. On an old bus rumbling along a winding road, a girl named Tessa looks out the window. She sees frog-green plants clinging to the side of sheer cliffs, snatches of a bright blue sea. She's come to Hawaii to reconnect with the only person who really knows her. And to escape. She's a winged seed on the breeze, never settling long enough to grow and put down roots. In her second novel, Rebecca Addison tells a soul-stirring story about family loyalty, love and loss, long-held secrets and the chance for new beginnings.
