Frangipani by Celestine Hitiura Vaite
Materena does the best she can to take care of her family, but, sometimes staying true to what you believe is difficult, and bringing up a daughter in a world where everything is changing, very hard indeed. This is a funny story of Materena's life in Tahiti, and her relationship with her daughter. It's a story about the power of family love.
