title: Islands Linked by Ocean (Bamboo Ridge, Journal of Hawai'i Literature and Arts)
author: Lisa Linn Kanae
description: "Honest, fragile, and fierce voices pull you in to the very center of characters that come to life on the pages of Lisa Linn Kanae's stories--characters known to you so closely at times, you read passages twice to make sure you've read what you've read. Sista is real. No hold back. Oowwee, but nevamind. It is about the story, the characters, the pliable grace of another Bamboo Ridge writer's collection that will cinch you in its vise clamoring in you for days after you close her book." -- Lois-Ann Yamanaka
