In Labor of Unconditional Love, Fatai openly talks about her experience growing up as a 1st generation American Tongan as she has first-hand experience of the sacrifices and unconditional love made by her parents to strive for the American dream. She relates her childhood experience and traumas she had to that of the foster kids her family currently care for by understanding that the true labor of unconditional love is only found when you can see beyond the behavior to the need of the child.
