Welcome, Reluctant Stranger

For years, questions plagued Leilani: where is her father, and why was the rest of her family forced to flee their country? But now, all she wants is to dedicate herself to healing people, like her father did.

When she rescues Justin, a drunk computer nerd nursing a breakup, who was being assaulted by thugs on a deserted street, she realizes she can’t run away from the past. Haunted by questions since her family left Costa Mora when she was nine, she’s devastated to learn why her family abandoned their privileged Pacific island life, her father’s role in a dangerous political web.

Shattered by the truth, Leilani wonders: is her father still alive? Is he a hero or a villain? With Justin’s help, she searches for her long-lost father. But can she forgive him? And can she reconnect with her roots and be at peace with who she is?
