Requests:  4 Summary:  "Born and raised in Hawai'i by a father whose ancestors are indigenous to the land and a mother from the American South, Jessica Machado wrestles with what it means to be 'local.' Feeling separate from the history and tenets of Hawaiian culture that have been buried under the continental imports of malls and MTV, Jessica often sees her homeland reflected back to her from the tourist perspective--as an uncomplicated paradise. Her existence, however, feels far from that ideal. Balancing her parents' divorce, an ailing mother, and growing anxiety, Jessica rebels. She moves to Los Angeles, convinced she'll leave her complicated family behind and define herself. Instead, her isolation only becomes more severe, and her dying mother follows her to California. For Jessica, the only way to escape is a reckless downward spiral. Interwoven with a rich and nuanced exploration of Hawaiian history and traditions, Local is a personal and moving narrative about family, grief, and reconnecting to the land she tried to leave behind."--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Aina Haina Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Machado Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hana P/S Library Hawaiian Biography H B Machado Ma Lost 10/27/2023 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H B Machado Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Hawaiian & Pacific H B Machado Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library R -- Hawaiian & Pacific H B Machado Ma Non Circulating   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Machado Ma Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Machado Ma Checked out 05/15/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Hawaiian Biography H B Machado Ma Transit Request   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books H B Machado Ma Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 3 Next
