For the old Hawaiians, love and bones were intimately intertwined. Bones, one's last surviving material expression, possessed mana-one's bones mattered more than life itself. If one were loved, one's bones were lovingly cleaned, polished and hidden. Down through the generations, one's bones would be respected and honored, sometimes, even deified. Love was the surviving spiritual expression of who one was-how much love was there, or wasn't there, when the bones were laid bare, is what ultimately mattered, in the most final sense. On the other hand, if one were unloved, or an enemy got to one's bones, they would ignominiously be whittled into fishhooks to be gnawed on by creatures of the deep or arrowheads with which to shoot despised rats. The respected chronicler of Hawaiian culture, Mary Kawena Pukui, once said that, in Hawaii, unrequited love makes the best stories; hence, most of the old Polynesian legends and myths are tragic in nature. Aptly then, six of the stories in Bones of Love are tragic, though they each express elements of love's sublimity; the seventh, the title story, is the eternal tale, Hawaiian style, of how ultimately, true love triumphs over tragedy. Woven of bones and love, here are seven beautifully provocative, sometimes strangely disturbing, stories of a sadly vanquished culture and how it loved -"The Bird Catcher," "House of Bones," "Warrior Woman," "Broken Vow," "Where Has He Gone?," "Bones of Love," and "Thigh Bone."

Hawaii is a U.S. state in the Western United States, in the Pacific Ocean. It is the only state outside North America, the only state comprised entirely of islands, and the only state in the tropics. Hawaii is also one of a few U.S. states to have once been an independent nation. The respected chronicler of Hawaiian culture, Mary Kawena Pukui, once said that, in Hawaii, unrequited love makes the best stories; hence, most of the old Polynesian legends and myths are tragic.

As a pregnant Kapukini stands on a precipice at the edge of an ancient volcano in the middle of the pacific where the sky meets the sea, she faces the winds of an uncertain future. With her hands resting on her swollen belly, she decides to comfort her child by sharing the story of their family, how they came to be, and the love that is the roots of this blossom. While Kapukini is present with her unborn child for this one last eternal moment, the tale of an ancient Hawaiian chief’s family lineage unfolds, depicting a forbidden royal romance. Within three generations of love stories creatively retold, the myth about the origin of the native Naupaka flower comes to life as Kapukini returns to ancient Hawaii where gods slide down rainbows to find beautiful maidens, men battle sharks to prove their devotion, women dance hula to share stories and passions, and lovers send kisses on the moonlight to communicate their affections. Naupaka: A Hawaiian Love Story shares fantastical tales about Hawaiian culture, love, family, courage, compassion, adventure, loyalty, mystical realms, and above all, aloha.
