His Heart Captured By A Tongan Beauty - 9781631359408

His Heart Captured by a Tongan Beauty is a riveting, winding journey through the Tongan community of Oakland, California. Bi-racial police officer Gideon Thompson comes to understand and appreciate his Tongan roots when he falls in love with Tilisa Tokelau, a beautiful teacher with a heart as big as the island her people came from. Along the way Officer Thompson survives a pit bull attack, foils an armed robbery and rebuffs the unwanted advances of his cheating ex-fiancee. Readers unfamiliar with Tongan culture will enjoy learning about Anga Faka Tonga, or what it means to be a Tongan, while following the travails of Tilisa as she works as a tou’a (a kind of bar maid) serving men the indigenous, intoxicating beverage kava. In the course of this duty she attracts the attention of a local drug dealer later implicated in a string of killings. That's when Officer Thompson comes to the rescue.
