<i> “We are together, all else can be endured.”</i>
<i> Daughter of Moloka'i </i> showcases Brennert's writing talent. He has a talent of describing places and people that make the reader being entranced with them. A rich, poignant read Daughter of Moloka'i will stick with you long after you've finished it. There is a richness to the story and to the characters. I enjoyed learning more about this period in time in World War II and the atrocities that American-Japanese faced. The resilience of the family, Japanese, and all Asian families during the period of internment was tear-provoking. The pride and love the Watanabe family had for each other and touched my spirit. Being able to see Japanese and Hawaiian culture through the history, family, honour and life of the characters was beautiful. The reunification of Ruth and Rachel was beautiful and made me cry. The theme of freedom stood out as the main point in <i> Daughter of Moloka'i </i>, and <I> Moloka'i </i>. While I did not find <i> Daughter of Moloka'i </i> as compelling as <I> Moloka'i </i> it still stands on its own as a great novel.
