Description

Laa, a girl from Bikini Atoll, is very naive. She does not always understand men, philosophy of religion and the world in general since she has spent most of her life on an isolated island with limited access to information. She has studied closely only three books: "The Marshallese Bible," "Princes and Princesses" and "The Christmas Book." Yet she does her best to interpret these sources, and confronts them with her own daily observations. It seems obvious to Laa that American missionaries were mistaken about many things. How could an all-good, all-wise and all-powerful God forget about Laa's ancestors? Why did He not let them see the Star of Bethlehem thousands of years ago, if it is so important to know and accept Jesus? Were they all damned merely for being born in the wrong place at the wrong time? Many questions puzzle the young woman while she is falling in love with an American man. He seems to take advantage of her gullible nature, and she soon goes through many other hardships, which make her wiser and stronger. One day, Laa finally sees a colorful light in the sky that looks even more magical than the Star of Bethlehem in her Christmas Book. It is the star of Bikini. It seems to Laa that God has decided to address her doubts and answer all her questions. It does not really matter that the star turns out to be just a blast caused by one of sixty-six atomic bombs detonated on the Marshall Islands between 1946 and 1958.
