In this third volume of her unique anthology of the Islands, Jane Marshall Goodsill shares more of Hawai‘i’s stories – dramatic and heartwarming tales of preserving history and living off the grid, of big-wave surfers and open-ocean sailors, of artists and entrepreneurs and so many others. Each of them has a fascinating tale to tell, from the days of Queen Emma’s court to the computer age. Taken together, these rich anecdotes tell the story of Hawai‘i, offering an inside look at the history and culture of a special place.
