Pito Tehana is a big zero--that's the word on the coconut radio. His lovely wife, Materena, is now a big radio star, and yet she hasn't turned into a bigheaded faaoru. But Pito won't even take her to a restaurant to celebrate. He just smirks and says, 'I congratulate my wife in my own way.' The Mahi family, never Pito's biggest fans, whisper that they wouldn't be surprised to see Materena trade him in. Especially after he gets a bit drunk and says something careless; something that hurts her so deeply she can't breathe... In the keenly awaited third installment of Materena's story, we see the Mahi and Tehana clans of Tahiti from the male perspective. And we find out that a man can do a lot with a second chance--if he's lucky enough to get one.
