Sunthought (Paperback)

A gritty coming-of-age tale about redemption, Polynesian culture and growing up in South Auckland, New Zealand. Sunthought Staines is a half-caste Tongan, brought up on the tough streets of Manurewa, South Auckland. When his mother dies of cancer, he descends into a life of crime, and probably an early death, were it not for a mysterious old woman, a squatter on his uncle's land, who possesses an extraordinary gift.
