Five sisters, fresh starts, and a whole lot of Aloha. Dawn Kalama fostered hundreds of children over the years. She was a pillar of their community in rural Hawai'i . . . until her husband passed away. The Aloha Sisters come together to support their mother and seek refuge from their own lives.



Anne left the island at seventeen. When her marriage and career come crashing down, she brings her kids to Pualena. Can she build a new life in a place filled with the ghosts of her past?



Laurie never felt like she belonged. She's the introvert. But as her situation at home grows more desperate, she has to reach out to the people who love her most.



Oakley has a picture-perfect life . . . at least at first glance. Cracks are spidering beneath her facade, and she needs her sisters.



Halia is the eldest sister, only thirteen years younger than her adopted mother. With Dawn a faint shadow of her former self, the responsibilities of family matriarch are on her shoulders.



Akemi is fast approaching forty, but to her family she'll always be the baby sister. She's the perpetual wanderer, a globe-trotting content creator who hasn't stayed in one place for more than a few months since the day she left home. But that might change now that the baby of the family is expecting a baby of her own.
