Set in Hilo, Lovey Nariyoshi navigates life in a blue-collar family amidst Hawaii's beauty, confronting poverty and social challenges. With her quirky best friend Jerry, she faces schoolyard bullies, class struggles, and the realities of labor on a macadamia nut plantation. The narrative blends sharp satire of local culture with poignant reflections on identity, all enriched by the vibrant use of pidgin—Hawai'i Creole English—showcasing a unique voice in contemporary literature.
