That Which Feeds Us (2026)
Keala Kendall
"With incisive prose that brings the plantation-turned-luxury-resort of Kopa`a alive in all its excess and fruit-spoil, Kendall offers a striking Hawaiian gothic that is as terrifying as it is emotionally resonant. A deeply intimate tale of belonging, sisterhood and intergenerational trauma bookended by larger inquiries of colonialism exploitation - That Which Feeds Us bites with real teeth and is sure to leave its mark."
