edit data

Raised in Kaneohe, Hawaii, Dawn Akemi is hapa haole. Though she’s lived on the mainland since college, her kama’aina upbringing has never left her. She’s studied writing throughout her life in both university and workshops. Her storytelling skills were honed by over a dozen years as a Hollywood actor. Her blog was awarded “Freshly Pressed” by Wordpress.

A folder lay unopened beside her. Thin. No thicker than truth stripped bare.

She had already read the note.
