Abstract
"A small Maori village faces a crisis when the heir to the leadership of the Ngati Konohi dies at birth and is survived only by his twin sister, Paikea. Although disregarded by her grandfather and shunned by the village people, twelve-year-old Paikea remains certain of her calling and trains herself in the ways and customs of her people. With remarkable grace, Paikea finds the strength to challenge her family and embraces a thousand years of tradition in order to fulfill her destiny."
