It is here where he and his beloved wife, Lou, raised their twins, Sunny and Stryker, and it is here where Rocky has mourned Lou in the years since her death. As Sunny and Stryker reach the cusp of adulthood, the country teeters on the brink of war. Stryker decides to join the fight, deploying to Pearl Harbor not long before the bombs strike. Soon, Rocky and his family find themselves facing yet another incomprehensible tragedy. Rocky is determined to protect his remaining family and the land where they've loved and lost so much. But when the government decides to build a Japanese American internment camp next to the ranch, Rocky realizes that the land faces even bigger threats than the LA watermen he's battled for years. Complicating matters is the fact that the idealistic Department of the Interior man assigned to build the camp, who only begins to understand the horror of his task after it may be too late, becomes infatuated with Sunny and entangled with the Rhodes family. Properties of Thirst is a novel that is both universal and intimate. It is the story of a changing American landscape and an examination of one of the darkest periods in this country's past, told through the stories of the individual loves and losses that weave together to form the fabric of our shared history. Ultimately, it is an unflinching distillation of our nation's essence--and a celebration of the bonds of love and family that persist against all odds."-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aiea Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Ewa Beach P/S Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hanapepe Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii Kai Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Wiggins Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
