Kaui takes her father for runs. She thinks she is good for him, but she also hates being “a nanny or nurse” (318).

Kaui accepts a job at a local farm. The farmer is just getting started and can only afford to pay her with food. She likes working with her hands again and “making things again, building toward something besides bedsheets and towels and washcloths for Dad” (323).

Dean is becoming a successful businessman, providing inmates with drugs and other items they desire. “[W]hat I am, is good at being the bad guy,” he says (325).

Kaui is working in the field at Hoku’s farm. She is “something like asleep” when she sees visions of dancing women. She thinks, “Hula dreams” (329). She tells Hoku, “There’s something here. I can feel it. Something big” (332).
