Three Precious Packages--
Mom (Olivia), Leilani and Kimo
|
Olivia Akamai is
Leilani’s mom. She’s blonde and has a slight built, unlike her daughter who
takes after the Hawaiian side of the family.
Olivia doesn’t appreciate
Leilani’s intense interest in mysteries, spying, investigating, and
interrogating. She worries about her and probably feels more than the normal
amount of “mama bear” caring since Leilani’s dad died about a year before.
But then, like every great mom, Olivia recalls
many a precious moment of her daughters youth when she’s caught her hiding in
weird places, been interrogated to the point of feeling guilty (for doing
absolutely nothing, by the way!) and had to patch Leilani up when she’d fallen
from a less-than-cooperative tree or scratched herself when crawling through
muck and mire to spy on someone.
You moms out there know about the angst that accompanies raising active,
intense and determined kids!
O is also for Onakea, Maile
and Kainoa’s last name. Maile is Leilani’s best female friend, and Kainoa is
her surfing buddy and coach since Leilani was eight. Now that she’s 13, she
see’s Kainoa a bit differently than when she was younger. Hmm . . . how will
that play out??
