When Melanie, her husband Dirk and their two daughters are on the plane from Germany to Hawaii, they all feel a little uneasy. Was it the right decision to take this daring step and emigrate to the Valley Isle? They would soon find out...

Melanie has always been fascinated by the dancing and rolling waves over thousands of kilometers in the Pacific and the subsequent piling up of high walls of water on the coasts of Hawaii. It was there that the natives of Hawaii invented surfing on pieces of wood. The first time she herself was gently carried through the water by waves, Melanie felt truly complete for the first time. She didn’t want to deprive her daughters Leilani and Lanea of this feeling and taught them to surf from a very young age. In search of freedom, their culture and their family in Hawaii, the family embarks on adventures and explores unexpected new shores. Will the four of them manage to find their footing in their new home? And will Melanie find her Hawaiian family? Let yourself be surprised and join in this exciting and entertaining story on the Hawaiian islands!
