As a child, Jana Rutherford played barefoot on the sparkling Hawaiian beaches with her friend, Akela, and Akela's handsome cousin, Kimo. But that carefreeness would change as Jana grew ... and the quality of her and Kimo's friendship grew as well into something deeper, stronger. It was then that Jana first heard the whispers, 'He's not her kind'. But Kimo stood for all she had known and loved.
