Nancy Clemens Livres

A mid-life journey to the Big Island of Hawai'i leads Nancy to profound experiences inspired by the Volcano Goddess, Kupuna Pele. Documenting her adventures in a diary, she shares colorful stories of local culture, the warmth of the community, and teachings from her spiritual guides, Auntie Aka and Auntie Fern. Through mystical encounters, training in Lomilomi massage, and community support during the aftermath of 9/11, Nancy explores themes of spirituality, colonization, and the importance of sharing blessings, all while capturing the essence of Aloha.

Set against the backdrop of Hawaii, the narrative follows a young girl's journey of self-discovery as she explores her cultural heritage and personal identity. Through her experiences and adventures, she learns valuable lessons about family, tradition, and the importance of connection to one's roots. The diary format allows for intimate reflections and vivid descriptions of the island's beauty, making it a heartfelt exploration of growth and belonging.
