The Speed of Water

Michael Grand left Hawaii six years ago, but travels back when his dad dies. He soon learns about loss. During his grief, Michael re-kindles with his tight knit family and discovers that the Hawaii he grew up in has changed. Through Michael's journey, he finds strength, love, and redemption and ultimately decides whether or not he will return to the islands that he called home for so many years. Set in the Hawaii of the author's memory, The Speed of Water paints a rich tapestry of the islands and pays tribute to dads who are no longer with us, the importance of family, the hope of love and of new journeys. The Speed of Water is the author's first novel.
