But at one point (Sam Hunt plays a role) she decides to embrace her difference, let her hair out, be wild.

This is an inspirational book, illustrated by the author -- New Zealand's bestselling poet laurette --and aimed at young readers and adults that tells a story about a Pasifika women embracing her uniqueness.
