|a Three lives on the verge of ruin intersect in the small Oregon town of Amity, Pika, a half-Samoan ex-con from California, seeks to deliver justice to his sister's rapist, Michael, a five-tour Iraq War Marine, faces the cracked mirror of his own embattled soul and Sissy, a recent convert to Catholicism, must resist the lure of ruthless self-judgment and discover what love is. Determined to escape the past, these characters find themselves sharing the same torn-down house, bordering tweaker poverty and bucolic wine country. Violence and penance, family and legacy, recidivism and post-traumatic stress disorder linger with the heavy rain of desperation. At the center of this storm is five-year old Benji, whose wide-eyed energy and openhearted faith could show all of them how to still be saved. In this unforgettable tale, award-winning author Peter Nathaniel Malae explores the depths of human pain and trauma with genuine cultural authority. Son of Amity is a novel whose voices cry out with truth and vulnerability, never betraying that slight tilt toward hope needed to make the long, hard trek to tomorrow.
