Why can't I break free from my past?

From the ashes of destitution rises a story of one man's journey with ferocity and defiance against all odds. Birthed at the heels of the Great Depression on a tiny Pacific Island, 'Uliti's life was nothing but ordinary; that is until, when he was only four, his father passed away and his world collapsed, shattering to pieces.

'Uliti could not escape this unbearable pain.

We live for today and try to hide our past, yet we cannot escape its hold.

How could 'Uliti forget his humble beginnings? He was born a poor boy and endured a life of lacking and scarcity. A nobody, shunned by shame and guilt. These experiences ground you, deep root you; turn you into a man, even as a child. Yet 'Uliti wondered, "Is this all I will amount to?"

'Uliti took the road less traveled as he stumbled to find his way through this harsh life and discover his truth:

Reality is cruel...Happiness is precarious...Poverty is dangerous; it's a mindset...

The shadow of yesteryears haunted him. He had risen from the dust of poverty to the top. He established a legacy in Tonga. And yet, he wondered, who am I really? What is my life's purpose?

Uata, Melenaite: - "Melenaite Uata SR - "Mel" for short - was born in Tonga, "The Friendly Island," and is the third of eleven children. She migrated to the US in 1976 and now lives in Portland, Oregon, where she is a proud mother of four beautiful children and three grandchildren. Since she was little, she has been able to captivate an audience with her words. I Don't Remember My Father's Face: A Memoir is Mel's first book, for which she used her gift and became her father's hand to write his story."Uata, 'Uliti: - 'Uliti Uata is a man of few words but has a commanding presence, like the perfect balance of yin and yang. He retired from the Tongan Parliament as a public servant after three decades representing the Ha'apai 13th District; his last official position was as the Minister of Health. He is a visionary man who launched several successful businesses, but his signature trait is his compassionate heart, which moves him to extend acts of kindness in his own quiet way. He stands by his word and his actions follow suit. 'Uliti is a father to eleven children, sixty plus grandchildren and thirty-five plus great grandchildren. He considers his family a timeless treasure.
