"Belief is crucial to life. If there is a through-line
to most of my work, it is the need for all of us to believe in something beyond
ourselves.
"Belief
is woven into all three of the stories in this collection. These stories are
fictionalizations of Tongan history and family stories shared by my
collaborator, Ilaisaane Filikitonga Tome. She is a native born Tongan: an
amazing Polynesian kingdom in the South Pacific known for the friendliness of
its people, an exceptionally high literacy rate, and for devoutly faithful
Christians. The power of her stories is moving and undeniable. You may or
may not share her belief system, and that does not really matter. It is
hard to hear her stories and not recognize the essential power of them."Click Here to learn more about MIRACLES ... and Tonga
