Sharks in the Time of Saviors
by Kawai Strong Washburn
Kawai Strong Washburn's Sharks in the Time of Saviors is a Hawaiian family saga where ancient gods press up against a present of foreclosure, scholarship debt, and exile to the mainland. A boy plucked alive from a shiver of sharks becomes both the family's miracle and its slow undoing. Magical realism rooted in work, money, and place.
