Love and Ohana Drama is a romantic comedy that explores the challenges of
family dynamics and reminds readers that there is always hope for a second
chance. Sometimes the most challenging situations bring the most happiness .
. .
Twenty-something Cora Fletcher is a book-loving public relations executive
who lives with her overly Zen best friend and attention-loving cat. Newly
single and focusing on her exciting career, she feels like she’s in a good
place. She's even been invited on an all-expenses-paid Hawaiian vacation!
The only catch—it’s a family reunion . . . and her family can be a lot to
handle.
Cora vows to not let that get in the way, but even before the family has
boarded the plane, the ohana drama begins. As usual, there's the
sister-in-law who is bent on causing friction, the self-centered cousins,
and the aunt who loves to party a bit too much. Her mother has filled the
itinerary with endless activities, and she's even invited Cora’s
ex-boyfriend in an attempt to get them back together.
Although she feels overwhelmed, Cora gets a blast from her past that could
impact her life forever. This is one welcome reunion she did not expect . .
.
Will Cora make it through a week of family togetherness? And will she be
able to say aloha to someone she thought was out of her life forever?
