Local: A Memoir Machado Jessica
A powerful, lush memoir about a Hawaiian woman who ran away from paradise to discover who she is and where she belongs.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. Balancing her parents' divorce, an ailing mother, and growing anxiety, Jessica rebels. Her existence, however, feels far from that ideal.
Instead, her isolation only becomes more severe, and her dying mother follows her to California. She moves to Los Angeles, convinced she'll leave her complicated family behind and define herself.
