Set against the lush and hauntingly beautiful landscape of Broken Island, Broken Island Girl is a lyrical coming of age novel that delves into the heart of generational trauma, cultural identity, and emotional resilience. Through the eyes of Aunty Lani descendant of island chiefs and healers we witness a powerful reckoning with silence, secrets, and the courage it takes to speak out.

Blending poetic prose with evocative storytelling, Olivia Waqabaca crafts a deeply moving narrative that honors Pacific Island traditions while confronting the raw, universal truths of womanhood, family, and self-discovery.
