He has his own reason for returning to his childhood home but it is not to revisit the past unlike his Uncle Koji. Koji lives with the memories of Daniels mother Mariko the love of his life and the scars of a life hard-lived. He cant wait to see Daniel who hes always thought of as a son but he knows the time has come to tell him the truth about his mother and his father. But Daniels arrival coincides with the awakening of the Mauna Loa volcano and its dangerous path toward their village stirs both new and long ago passions in their community.Alternating between past and present—from the day of the volcano eruption in 1935 to decades prior—The Color of Air interweaves the stories of Daniel Koji and Mariko to create a rich vibrant bittersweet chorus that celebrates their lifelong bond to one other and to their immigrant community. As Mauna Loa threatens their lives and livelihoods it also unearths long held secrets simmering below the surface that meld past and present revealing a path forward for them all.(less)
