My brothers would be dating girls and I was left alone in the corner, playing GI Joe or with my Barbie doll. It was miserable. My father couldn't control his emotions, with me or my mother.

If so, someone neglected to inform the "living faces" that preside unchallenged over the loneliest island community in the world (in the same time zone, though hardly the same century, as New York City). On New Year's Eve, grass-skirted dancers perform under fireworks in front of the ancestral figures; but come New Year's Day, all is just eerie midsummer stillness again, the only sound the wind whistling in your ears. It may be that something tumultuous happened to your...
