Swimming Sideways: Cantos Chronicles 1

What do you do when your world has fallen apart, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to put it back together?

Abby Kaiaulu (Kaw ee aw oo loo) gets the chance to start over when her family relocates from Hawaii to a small town on the Oregon coast.

But she’s hiding a secret. 

Leaving the past and the cultural lessons of her Hawaiian grandfather behind, Abby redefines who she is to hide it. There’s Good Abby - she makes and follows the rules - and there’s Bad Abby - she always questions them. But both leave Abby wondering: which one is she really? 

Her road of self-discovery takes her on a journey where she must discover the truth of who she is as a daughter, a sister, a woman, a Hawaiian and as a friend. 

But just when she thinks her world might be coming back together, it falls apart all over again.
