DESCRIPTION: This epic historic novel is an entertaining, fictionalized, chronological history of Hawaii, with each chapter covering a different time period, significant event, or ethnic group. The chapters are almost a stand-alone books in themselves, but the stories are interwoven together, and if you read each one carefully you will notice characters, or descendents of characters from previous chapters.
