Summary:
"Fresh off the boat after a sixteen-day sail from San Francisco to Hawaii, Don and Sharmen Graydon settle for a nine-month stay on the island of Molokai. Thus the plot of this breezy nonfiction report: a city boy goes to the country and is variously charmed and exasperated by what he finds. Certain things are different: for starters, the language, the climate, the food, the culture. Don trades misunderstandings with a Filipino barber, wrestles with pidgin, hobnobs with hippies, is labeled 'dumb haole' ; he learns with a laugh or a grimace to accept the many versions of the 'real' Molokai. Written in 1970, Away from it all, is one young man's take on a rare and special place in a time long past. Join him in the fun."--P. [4] of cover.
