The Ohana
Originally from Hawaii, I grew up listening to my mother's fascinating stories about my family and old Hawaii. The Ohana grew out of those stories told to me as a child.  As far back as I can remember, books were my passion. I preferred reading books to playing with toys. It took me around the world to places I yearned to go to and places I wanted to see. I could be anyone and do the impossible. As an author and a woman who has lived a roller coaster life, my desire is to create a magical world where everything is possible to anyone who dreams. I want you to fall in love with my characters, get mad at them, cry with them, laugh with them, and become a part of their lives. Let me take you on an unforgettable journey to old Hawaii. I hope to captivate you with stories you've never heard before and introduce you to different cultures and mind-sets.  Native Americans say, "Walk a mile in my moccasins and you will see why I do what I do." When you finally put down "The Ohana," I hope you will understand more about the diverse cultures that make up our 50th state. As for the descendants of immigrants, perhaps you will understand the challenges your ancestors faced and why they did what they did. Knowing their struggles will make you more compassionate and understanding. Most of all, I want my stories to resonate in the hearts of everyone who reads my books. And, of course, I wish to entertain. Mahalo, (Thank you) and Aloha for reading my stories.
