    Summary: 
    "'Hub of my wheel' introduces Alice's Great Grandparents leaving the Azores after accepting labor contracts offered by sugar plantation HC&S, Maui. The Fernandez Family arrives to Hawaii on the 'Monarch' steamship June 8, 1882; and, the Correa Family arrives on the 'High Flyer' January, 1880. Alice shares her thoughts and feelings, reactions and reflections with the hard work of her Great-grandparents, Grandparents, Mother and Father, and childhood experiences growing up on Maui. Her childhood stories include memories as a young girl on the upcountry Pukalani farm, experiences during World War II, family traditions, Catholic education, childhood work and fun, and a few novel experiences unknown by many! After years of kitchen table talk and writing, Alice shares a generational story of hard work, gratitude, and strong faith as key to an honest, faithful, and giving life."--P. [4] of cover.
