Oki's Island: A Hero's Journey

Young Polynesian Oki is fishing not far from his island--the only land he has ever known--when a terrible storm arises. When the dark clouds clear, Oki discovers that his island is gone and he's lost at sea with only his wits and the meager provisions in his tiny outrigger to sustain him. As he searches for home, he discovers islands both strikingly similar and strangely different from his own--people and places that challenge everything he believes to be true. In this inventive take on the hero's journey, award-winning author and filmmaker Kenny Kemp weaves a fascinating tale of courage, hope, and triumph. This beautifully-written allegory about listening to the subtle whisperings of the Universe amidst the cacophony of closer and louder voices that would steer you away from your own destiny is a marvelous insight into your own spiritual journey. Like Jonathan, Oki learns what it means to truly fly. So will you!
