Henry Kalalahilimoku Nalaielua, Sally-Jo Keala-o-anuenue Bowman
Watermark Publishing, 2006
Hope and courage in adversity
Reviewed by Richard R. Blake for Reader Views (3/07)
This is an amazing story. It is Henry's story. Henry Nalielua, diagnosed with Hansen's disease at the age of ten, was branded leprous. "No Footprints in the Sand" is an important memoir. It tells of the journey that took Henry from a sugar plantation community on the Island of Hawaii to Kalaupapa, a remote settlement on the Hawaiian ...

Healing Water: A Hawaiian Story3 reviews
Joyce Moyer Hostetter
Calkins Creek Books, 2008
Healing Water
I just finished reading Healing Water. This is a wonderful story of a sad time in Hawaii's history. Joyce Hostetter's talent in weaving history into a captivating account of a young man's journey is spellbinding. I could feel Pia's gut wrenching landing on Moloka'i after being separatef forever from his family (please excuse the backward `okina). I could smell the dampness of the fauna and salt ...

The Colony: The Harrowing True Story of the Exiles of Molokai 81 reviews
John Tayman
Scribner, 2007
"Unclean! Unclean!"
I suppose that the government officials in Hawaii in the 1860s assumed that they were doing the right thing by isolating lepers on an almost uninhabited island. Compared to the biblical era of rags, bells, and calls of "unclean, unclean!", they may have been somewhat correct. What they didn't realize, however, was the human toll living on that island would take on those people. It's actually ...

Holy Man: Father Damien of Molokai6 reviews
Gavan Daws
University of Hawaii Press, 1989
Undoubtedly the most scholarly work yet on this topic.
"Holy Man" is undoubtedly the finest and most scholarly work to date on this topic. Prior to Daws' work, the overwhelming majority of books on this topic have been somewhat biased as they were produced by Catholic clergy and lay writers. Daws has brought the secular historian's skill to this subject and has produced a truly balanced account of the life and work of Father Joseph DeVeuster. Only ...

Moloka'i113 reviews
Alan Brennert
St. Martin's Griffin, 2004
Greatest historical novel ever
This was the most engrossing and emotional book I have ever read. There were moments I had to put it down for fear of crying and looking ridiculous for doing so. There were joyful moments and sad moments and everytime I put it down, I had to remind myself I am Tara in Utah, not Rachel in Molokai. Thats how truly potent this story is. You must remind yourself where and who you are. The story ...

unexpectedly gripping!
I picked this up in a used bookstore in Hawaii expecting to get a little historical background on Father Damian and life in the leper colony of Molokai, but ended up discovering an utterly gripping novel. The story of a prisoner on death row given the option of life among the lepers in exchange for experimentation on his person in an attempt to find a cause for the spread of the disease. The ...

Moloka'i Nui Ahina, Summers on the Lonely Isle6 reviews
Kirby Wright
Lemon Shark Press, 2007
The Inspiration Behind the Book
The author's grandmother is the inspiration behind the writing of this Moloka'i book.
Wright's grandmother was the island's first woman paniolo (cowboy). She began as a fence rider for Pu'u O Hoku Ranch on the east end and later began driving cattle with her husband from the ranch down a coastal road to Puko'o Harbor. Once on the beach, she roped a cow, tethered her end of the rope to her ...

Chip Hughes
Island Heritage Publishing, 2004
Great Book - Great Character!!
I read this book while vacationing on the island of O'ahu, and I simply could not put it down. This is one mystery that kept me turning pages until I was finished, and the character of "The Surfing Detective", Kai Cooke, is a great one. While making this character totally unique, Chip Hughes has taken some of the better attributes of some of our most beloved detectives and given them to Kai ...
