A young woman arrives in Hawaii as a mail-order bride to a stranger, only to discover her dreams of escape have led to a different kind of confinement, but finds unexpected kinship and wisdom in an unlikely friendship. It's a quiet, tender story about learning to make a home where you didn't expect to find one.
