Western capitalism and private property clashes with the communal lifestyle and sharing of the common people. John seeks out relatives in Lahaina where whaling ship captains and sailors rule the town and torment him. There he meets a beautiful cousin but learns that the Western religion of Christianity forbids a romantic relationship. The sugar baron sent a man to kill him. Whalers force him to sail his canoe for Honolulu where he finds life is even more complicated. A murder by a Chinese immigrant, the secret martial art of lua, a future king, a lawyer, a French girl, and a locket lead to emotional turmoil about his place in this world. The sugar baron's hired killer ambushes him. After a dramatic fight, John knows he must leave and sets off once again in his canoe, heading to the island of Kauai."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hanapepe Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Fernandez   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Fernandez   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Hawaiian Fiction H Fernandez pb Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Hawaiian Fiction H Fernandez   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Library For The Blind and Print Disabled R -- Hawaiian Reference H FERNANDEZ   Non Circulating Add Copy to MyList
