Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FROM COOLIDGE TO KAUAI takes readers from laughter to tears and unexpected twists, as in this scene: Suddenly Daddy started clearing the top shelf of the refrigerator, throwing everything onto the floor with a vengeance. "Stop it!" Momma shouted. "Stop it right now!" "Shut up!" Daddy roared. "Get out of my sight!" Standing at the fireplace, Momma reached up, took down Grandpa Burke's shotgun, broke it open and pushed in two shells. "No, Momma!" I yelled as I ripped open the bedroom door, nearly knocking Melinda to the floor. I heard Danny leaping off the bed behind me and crying out, frightened. Daddy turned when I yelled. Seeing Momma with the shotgun he slammed the refrigerator door shut and then started for the living room. As he rounded the partition I could see her bringing up the double barrels, preparing to fire. I bolted out of the bedroom, running for Daddy, planning on pushing him out of the way. The shotgun blast never touched him, but it knocked me off my feet, stinging my back and my head and hurling me into the partition. I bounced back, flopping on the floor, my vision quickly fading to total darkness. An instant later I found myself in a park filled with light. Off to my right was a group of people. I didn't recognize any of them. Then a familiar figure walked past them and came up to me. "Hi, Grandpa. What are you doing here?" Grandpa Burke smiled, gave me a hug and then said, "I've come to show you something." "Am I dead, Grandpa?" Light from the Other Side

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all live on islands, a old man counsels in An Island in the Turquoise Sea, the opening story in this collection of short stories by Carl Heintze. - - But all islands are not the same. An Island in the Turquoise Sea tells of a special island, Kauai, the northern most inhabited of the Hawaiian islands, the first to emerge from the ocean eons ago. Its subject is its natives and its visitors. Once dependent on sugar cane, but now a tourists' dream Kauai has drawn Heintze to it each year for thirty years. An Island in the Turquoise Sea is his tribute to the island. In it Carl describes those who have lived there all their lives and those come for the first time. His stories tell how the island, though seemingly eternal, brings change, of how its trade winds, showers, clouds and surf offer new vistas, new life and new beginnings. Two of these stories are prize winners, but all are bewitching. Like Kauai itself, truly an island in the turquoise sea, they are unique.

Book excerpt: In the bestselling tradition of In the Heart of the Sea, The Colony, “an impressively researched” (Rocky Mountain News) account of the history of America’s only leper colony located on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, is “an utterly engrossing look at a heartbreaking chapter” (Booklist) in American history and a moving tale of the extraordinary people who endured it. Beginning in 1866 and continuing for over a century, more than eight thousand people suspected of having leprosy were forcibly exiled to the Hawaiian island of Molokai -- the longest and deadliest instance of medical segregation in American history. Torn from their homes and families, these men, women, and children were loaded into shipboard cattle stalls and abandoned in a lawless place where brutality held sway. Many did not have leprosy, and many who did were not contagious, yet all were ensnared in a shared nightmare. Here, for the first time, John Tayman reveals the complete history of the Molokai settlement and its unforgettable inhabitants. It's an epic of ruthless manhunts, thrilling escapes, bizarre medical experiments, and tragic, irreversible error. Carefully researched and masterfully told, The Colony is a searing tale of individual bravery and extraordinary survival, and stands as a testament to the power of faith, compassion, and the human spirit.

Download or read book Kauai written by Edward Joesting and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1988-02-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here finally is a readable, thoroughly researched, and generously illustrated history of the island of Kauai. Edward Joesting tells for the first time the story of one of the most intriguing and least known of the Hawaiian Islands. His account begins with the prehistoric origins of the island and concludes with the annexation of Hawaii in 1898. Kauai describes the early emergence of Kauai as an island separate and distinctive from the other islands of Hawaii. It recounts the coming of Western man, the failure of King Kamehameha to conquer the island, and the ultimate incorporation of the island into the Hawaiian kingdom. Joesting also includes in his story the destructive impact of the sandalwood and whaling trades, and the subsequent rise of an economy based on sugar cultivation. His story comes to an end with the demise of the Hawaiian monarchy and the quiet revolution that occurred when Hawaii became a territory of the United States. Historical documents not previously used bring new information and fresh perspectives to this book. The result is a level-headed, engaging look at Kauai. Kauai: The Separate Kingdom is certain to become the authoritative history of the island long regarded by many as the most beautiful in the Hawaiian archipelago.

This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALOHA! This fictional novel is a Spiritual, Love Story, Mystery about Kelly, an adventurer with a sense of humor. She is a single, middle-aged, meditation teacher, who truly wants to know the answer to attaining enlightenment. Unusual circumstances call her to Kauai, Hawaii where she meets Dave, a visiting NASA scientist who gifts her a shiny Copper Key. This mysterious key is said to open a jeweled box that holds the secret to happiness and is hidden deep in the jungle of Kauai. Dave is destined to return to the mainland USA while Kelly searches to solve the mystery alone.... but is she really alone? Kelly romance-stricken heart is in for the ride of her life. In the novel, you can follow Kelly's thrilling adventures on her danger-laden journey across the isle from death defying hikes TO swimming and kayaking in shark infested waters on the wild Pacific Ocean. Kelly also experiences many telepathic communications with the spirit world including ghosts, night marchers and Hawaiian mythical dragons (Mo'o lizards). Numerous amusing quips and many personal flashbacks of Kelly's vast, international, healing experiences pervade this novel. Hawaiian local characters delightfully flavor her escapades throughout the story line. This intuitive tale honors Hawaiian history, culture and sacred sites. It is dedicated to the environmental protection of Kauai and it's cherished native plants and animals (endangered humpback whales, monk seals, sea turtles, plant and bird life). In Kelly's words: "Moving to Kauai, Hawaii has been one of the most life changing and healing experiences of my life. When I arrived on Kauai soil on 12-12-12, I had no idea that I was being called to become an outspoken activist for the aina (sacred land) and as an ocean conservationist. Little did I know that I was destined to become an author of Hawaiian culture and meet some of the most amazing people and animal lifeforms on the planet. I've almost physically perished more than once here, but each near-death experience has re-birthed within me a greater awareness of Truth, Light and Unconditional Love. The Aloha Spirit Of Hawaii has awakened a joyful song in my grateful heart. I am truly humbled by all that surrounds me. MAGNIFICENT! Mahalo, (Thank you in Hawaiian) Kelly
