Another good book. Boy have I been lucky so far this month. This is the story of a Korean picture bride who comes to Hawaii thinking the streets are made of gold, and how she lives her life once she learns that it's not true. I picked the book up because it's the same author as Molokai, which I absolutely loved. This book was very good, and very enjoyable, but didn't have that same wow factor. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the stories, the way she became hawaiian. It was all very good. Just not quite great, though I can't explain what kept it out of 5 star category. I guess if nothing else, Molokai was an outstanding first book, and a hard one to follow up with anything. I would recommend this book as an enjoyable read, an interesting story, and an opportunity to learn about the patchwork quilt that was and is Hawaii. I'll definitely read it again.
