Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

WHAT IF THE JOURNEY TO FIND YOURSELF BEGINS WITH LEARNING YOU WERE NEVER THE CENTER OF THE STORY?Keoki Kealoha has built a life around knowing the right words.Raised on Maui and gifted with a voice people trust, he becomes the perfect interpreter between Hawaiian culture, wealthy visitors, powerful institutions, and a growing spiritual marketplace hungry for meaning. He believes he can enter compromised systems without becoming compromised himself.Then everything begins to fracture.After the death of his beloved Tūtū leaves behind an unfinished paddle-and an unfinished question-Keoki abandons the life everyone envied and begins searching for something true enough to live by. His journey carries him through teachers, philosophies, love, ambition, betrayal, corporate power, public disgrace, dangerous waters, and the devastating realization that even the search for wisdom can become another form of possession.How do you honor what you inherit without claiming ownership of it?Can damage truly be repaired without pretending it never happened?And what happens when becoming "enlightened" is no longer enough?Set against the living beauty and contradictions of Hawaiʻi, The Hawaiian Siddhartha: A Novel of Inheritance and Repair is a sweeping literary journey about identity, responsibility, cultural belonging, family, love, ambition, forgiveness, and the difficult work of becoming useful rather than admired.At its heart lies a repaired paddle whose scars are never hidden-and a truth Keoki must spend years learning: Some things are not meant to be possessed. Some wounds should remain visible. And no one crosses the deepest water alone.Powerful, thought-provoking, emotionally charged, and ultimately hopeful, The Hawaiian Siddhartha is a novel for readers who love transformative stories that stay with them long after the final page.Enter Keoki's journey. Follow the current. Discover what the tide returns.
