Sharks in the time of saviors : a novel / Kawai Strong Washburn. by Washburn, Kawai Strong, 1980- McClelland & Stewart, 2020. Call #: FICTION WAS Subjects Families -- Fiction.   Ability -- Fiction.   Hawaiian gods -- Fiction.   Hawaii -- Fiction. ISBN:  9780771094453 (hc.) Description:  376 p. ; 22 cm. Summary:  "In 1995, Kailua-Kona, Hawai'i, on a rare family vacation, seven-year-old Nainoa Flores falls overboard a cruise ship into the Pacific Ocean. When a shiver of sharks appears in the water, everyone fears for the worst. But instead, Noa is gingerly delivered to his mother in the jaws of a shark, marking his story as the stuff of legends. Nainoa's family, struggling amidst of the collapse of the sugarcane industry, hails his rescue as a sign of favor from ancient Hawaiian gods--a belief that appears validated after he exhibits puzzling new abilities. But as time passes, this supposed divine favor begins to drive the family apart: Nainoa, working now as a paramedic on the streets of Portland, struggles to fathom the full measure of his expanding abilities; further north in Washington, his older brother Dean hurtles into the world of elite college athletics, obsessed with wealth and fame; while in California, risk-obsessed younger sister Kaui navigates an unforgiving academic workload in an attempt to forge her independence from the family's legacy."--Publisher.
