Set in the lush cane fields of Hawaii in 1919, this evocative tale follows 16-year-old Yachiyo as she leaves her impoverished parents to live with wealthy relatives. While her mother hopes Yachiyo will learn the Japanese tea ceremony and attract a rich husband, she finds herself entangled in a forbidden passion for her hostess's charming but reckless husband. This engaging audiobook features a full cast that brings to life a story inspired by a true incident from the playwright's family.
