Makani’s mother is Grandma Young’s daughter. She is narcissistic and too self-involved to care about Makani. While Makani is living in Nebraska with Grandma Young, Makani’s mother and Makani’s father remain in Hawaii and file for divorce. Makani’s mother grew up in Osborne and left the minute she graduated high school. She’d wanted to visit all 50 states before finding the perfect place to call her new home, but in Hawaii—the first place she went—she met Makani’s father and never left. Makani suspects her mother resents her for her freedom—a freedom Makani’s mother lost when she met Makani’s father, stayed in Hawaii, and gave birth to Makani.
