Summary:
"Much has been written about thousands of sick Hawaiians forced into exile on the island of Molokaʻi. Their fate is a stain on history. But of one group, there are no records. No written history. What about those hidden by their families? What made it into the history books about those eluding the sheriff, the bounty hunters, and the health authorities? What of those hiding in caves and cane fields, in hills and valleys? Nothing. Their stories, guarded and held close, have been obscured by the footprints of history. They are only hinted at, alluded to. A sentence here or there. 'Running from Molokaʻi' honors and gives voice to this hushed group. Told by fifteen-year-old Mele Bennett, the story has as many facets as a gem, as many chambers as a heart. It is the story of Keahi, the boy Mele has loved since childhood; the story of a gentle soul named Manu hiding in Manoa Valley; the story of a family divided; of betrayal tucked deep inside love; of improbable trust when life and death are at stake; of the tender bond of two kids in love"--Amazon.com.
