In Change We Must; Nana Veary describes how her family; surroundings and the ways of an innately spiritual people shaped a lifetime search for the truth. At the core; binding the threads of the story; is the practice of silence and a strong belief in its power. From her canoe-building grandfather who used only the trees selected by a native forest bird; to her Christian mother who chanted in Hawaiian to the fish; Nana was set on her course from an early age. It is her journey that unfolds in these pages. Weaving stories and images from her childhood; hard-earned lessons from raising her children and an even wider span of children without a home; Nana shares the metaphysical truths that she applied every day of her life. Nana was a deeply private person and it was difficult for her to recreate and reveal her life; but in typically Hawaiian fashion; she embraces all of us in these pages with a generosity and grace that heals us and guides us home. The book is illustrated by 16 black white photographs of Hawaii by award-winning photographer; Franco Salmoiraghi.
