Terewai
Island Dreamer
Malia Terewai Ika, reads too much, thinks too much and wants more than anything to belong, to know, and to understand her cultural heritage on her New Zealand Māori side, and on her Tongan side.
Much to her delight, her strict Tongan father gives her permission to join a Māori cultural dance group, where she meets Koro Rawiri, a Māori tribal elder. Imagine her surprise when he reveals to her that she is Matakite, one of a rare group of people gifted with the sight.
Malia’s life will never be the same. Her gift as a dream-drifter and a spirit-walker becomes a curse, yet it also leads her to Tane, her soul mate.
As her family moves from Utah to Arizona, and from Arizona to Tonga, Malia must decide between her true love and the survival of her family, between her thirst for culture and her desire to stay alive.
