Saipan: A Brief History Environment Ocean Mother weaves together riveting

Ocean Mother weaves together riveting poems from strands of Arielle Taitano Lowe's memories growing up as a Chamoru girl in Guåhan (Guam)

Vonna must decide whom she wants to become in a world that seems to be constantly shifting around her

Each new experience seems to bring more questions than answers—about her home
