Lien Apinam is a legendary story based on an actual event from Lukunor, Chuuk, in Micronesia. The story teaches the important values and roles that women, men, and children have in their own survival. Lien Apinam, the protagonist, is a girl who channels the spirit of her ancestry to courageously stand in opposition to cultural protocol in order to save her island peoples from the atrocities of invasion and warfare. Her empowering and bold decision making allows readers to learn the power of speaking and standing up for what is right, even in the face of danger and cultural bias.
