description: Mary Richards, in this biography, provides a warm, revealing picture of a highly capable, dedicated man who got Hawaii statehood off to an admirable start. There is a strongly personal flavor to her account, a detailed mosaic of Quinn’s recorded remembrances, commentaries by a host of political participants and outside observers, editorials and news stories. Mrs. Quinn—Nancy to so many—proves herself a loving and insightful wife and mother, a gracious First Lady who calmly maneuvered an impossible official and domestic schedule in support of the governor. Readers who were here at the time will relive an extraordinary slice of Island history. Those who came or grew up since will get an inside view of Hawaii keeping a date with destiny.
