Rumi Seto's life was consumed by worries, ranging from what to eat to where to go and who to love. However, one thing remained unwavering: her desire to spend her life creating music alongside her younger sister, Lea. Tragically, Lea's life was cut short in a car accident, leaving Rumi to navigate the profound loss of her sister, feeling abandoned by her mother, and the aching absence of music that had always been a source of solace.

Determined to find her way back to the music that had once brought her and Lea so much joy, Rumi relocated to Hawaii to live with her aunt. However, the distance from home only intensified her feelings of isolation and grief. She struggled to cope with the loss, feeling as if a part of her had been irrevocably severed.

In the midst of her turmoil, Rumi met Kai, a teenage surfer who approached life with a carefree attitude. Kai's carefree demeanor provided a much-needed contrast to Rumi's intense sorrow, and he became a source of comfort and companionship.

Additionally, Rumi found solace in the wisdom of her aunt's neighbor, George Watanabe. George had experienced his own profound grief years ago and had learned to find peace in the music. He became Rumi's mentor, sharing his experiences and offering guidance as she sought to heal and find her way back to music.

Through her journey, Rumi discovered the power of honesty and the importance of confronting her emotions head-on. Summer Bird Blue is a poignant exploration of insurmountable grief, unconditional love, and the resilience of the human spirit. It is a testament to the healing power of music and the strength of human connection.

In the end, Rumi finds her way back to music, writing the song that she and Lea had always dreamed of creating. The song is a tribute to their love and the memories they shared, a way to honor their legacy and find closure in the face of loss.

Summer Bird Blue is a powerful and moving story that will resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of loss. It is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and the power of music to heal and bring us together.
