“Daughter of Moloka’i” is the richly emotional story of Ruth Utagawa, the daughter of parents who have Hansen’s disease (frequently known as leprosy). She is adopted by a Japanese family, the Watanabes, in Honolulu. The family soon moves to California to seek new opportunities.
They struggle through the physically demanding labor of working on a farm, the Great Depression, and racism from their neighbors and local communities. But nothing quite prepares them for Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, or the ensuing backlash that they and other West Coast Japanese Americans receive.
Ruth, now married with two children of her own, is incarcerated along with her family at Manzanar in 1942. After the war ends, the family works to rebuild their lives. Ruth receives a letter from her birth mother, Rachel, that forces her to reckon with her past.
Brennert has won an Emmy Award and People’s Choice Award for his work on the TV series “L.A. Law.” He has been nominated for a Golden Globe Award and for the Writers Guild of America Award for Outstanding Teleplay of the Year. He lives in Southern California, but his heart is in Hawaii.
