Fortunes have changed for the King family, descendants of Hawaiian royalty and one of the stateβs largest landowners. Matthew Kingβs daughtersβScottie, a feisty ten-year-old, and Alex, a seventeen-year-old recovering drug addictβare out of control, and their charismatic, thrill-seeking mother, Joanie, lies in a coma after a boat-racing accident. She will soon be taken off life support. As Matt gathers his wifeβs friends and family to say their final goodbyes, a difficult situation is made worse by the sudden discovery that thereβs one person who hasnβt been told: the man with whom Joanie had been having an affair. Forced to examine what they owe not only to the living but to the dead, Matt, Scottie, and Alex take to the road to find Joanieβs lover, on a memorable journey that leads to unforeseen humor, growth, and profound revelations.
