This provocative and compelling debut novel of innocence, identity, loyalty, and betrayal is set on a small, isolated Hawaiian island in December 1941, and based on true events. When a plane crashes on Niihau, the islanders have no idea that it is a Japanese zero, and that the pilot, who survived, has just bombed Pearl Harbor. Only the lone Japanese-American couple on Niihau knows the truth - and they begin to question their own loyalties. Over seven days, the innocent peace of the island unravels . . .
