A story of Hawaii and of Korean immigrants

I loved this book, and it was both completely different but on par with Molokai, which I listened to just before this. The performance was exceptional, and so was the story. I loved Jin and learning about this aspect of Korean and Hawaiian history. I learned so much, and found all the characters compelling. I loved how the story wrapped up, and the ending was very moving. I highly recommend this book.
