      Exploring the complexities of memory and truth, the memoir intertwines personal experiences with the chilling 1969 murder of Jane Britton, a Harvard graduate and friend of the author, who found himself a suspect in the case. Mitchell delves into Hawaiian culture's concept of shibai, or gaslighting, as he reflects on his life, including his youth on the Big Island and interactions with diverse cultures. Through his journey, he examines how facts can distort perceptions and the enduring power of love and connection across time and cultures.
