Collecting Coconuts

"Great and terrible can mean the very same things. Yet, I now understand both." -Keiba Some people pray for rain. Others pray for it to go away. Anne Lu'akanitz, Hawaiian and Jewish by blood, finds herself amidst both prayers in the Hurricane. Will she find her family? Her friends? The science and plants she dearly loves amidst the island? Some people seek research. Some breathe it. Haki Lindsgren, Swedish and American by blood, seeks both in the high tops of Aconcagua Mountain ranges amidst a snowstorm. He has a research partner, but where is she? Will he find her? Will he finish his research? Or die trying? How do they both fare? "The trees quit dripping long enough to hear the silence." - Anne.
