Kura lands in the footsteps of his father, whose twenty-year estrangement has come to a head. Katerina starts planning for a future, but must bend to the whim of another. Ana is received into a sacred sisterhood. And an Island Mama sets out the rules for love.\u003ci\u003e Beats of the Pa'u\u003c\/i\u003e is a collection of stories about first- and second-generation Cook Islands New Zealanders living in 1950s to modern-day New Zealand.
