Tui Pea Luva, meaning weave then gift, is the heartfelt offering of strength, memories and love gifted down from mothers, sisters and aunts. Each poem is a delicate weaving of wisdom and a celebration of the timeless bond of family, the beauty of female resilience and a tribute to its enduring legacy.
