Ola

When Olamaiileoti Monroe takes her seventy-five-year-old father, Finau, on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, both are caught up in a search for understanding of each other and the ties that bind them. Their story unfolds on an international stage - in Samoa, New Zealand, New York, and Israel - and opposes the modern selfishness of Ola to the moral complexity of Finau.
