Summary:
"In 1951, a five-year-old girl, her six-year-old sister, and their parents arrived in the small, sleepy, pre-statehood town of Hilo, Hawai’i, where poi dogs napped on less-traveled roads, tourists were few, and sugar cane dominated the economy. In 1956, after embracing island life with her whole heart but also experiencing a devastating family tragedy, she and her family left again. In the decades since then, so much has changed on the Big Island that its 1950s existence now seems almost another world – one known by few and remembered by even fewer. A detailed and personal view of that former world is recreated here with astonishing clarity, giving readers a rare window through which to enjoy glimpses of that unique, now-vanished time and place."--Cover.
