Young Rachel Kalama, growing up in idyllic Honolulu in the 1890s, is part of a big, loving Hawaiian family, and dreams of seeing the far-off lands that her father, a merchant seaman, often visits. But at the age of seven, Rachel and her dreams are shattered by the discovery that she has leprosy. Forcibly removed from her family, she is sent to Kalaupapa, the isolated leper colony on the island of Moloka'i. In her exile she finds a family of friends to replace the family she's lost: a native healer, Haleola, who becomes her adopted "auntie" and makes Rachel aware of the rich culture and mythology of her people; Sister Mary Catherine Voorhies, one of the Franciscan sisters who care for young girls at Kalaupapa; and the beautiful, worldly Leilani, who harbors a surprising secret. At Kalaupapa she also meets the man she will one day marry. True to historical accounts, Moloka'i is the story of an extraordinary human drama, the full scope and pathos of which has never been told before in fiction. But Rachel's life, though shadowed by disease, isolation, and tragedy, is also one of joy, courage, and dignity. This is a story about life, not death; hope, not despair. It is not about the failings of flesh, but the strength of the human spirit.

NOW A LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER | NAMED A BEST/MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK BY: USA Today • BookRiot • BookBub • LibraryReads • OC Register • Never Ending Voyage The highly anticipated sequel to Alan Brennert’s acclaimed book club favorite, and national bestseller, Moloka'i "A novel of illumination and affection." —USA Today Alan Brennert’s beloved novel Moloka'i, currently has over 600,000 copies in print. This companion tale tells the story of Ruth, the daughter that Rachel Kalama—quarantined for most of her life at the isolated leprosy settlement of Kalaupapa—was forced to give up at birth. The book follows young Ruth from her arrival at the Kapi'olani Home for Girls in Honolulu, to her adoption by a Japanese couple who raise her on a strawberry and grape farm in California, her marriage and unjust internment at Manzanar Relocation Camp during World War II—and then, after the war, to the life-altering day when she receives a letter from a woman who says she is Ruth’s birth mother, Rachel. Daughter of Moloka'i expands upon Ruth and Rachel’s 22-year relationship, only hinted at in Moloka'i. It’s a richly emotional tale of two women—different in some ways, similar in others—who never expected to meet, much less come to love, one another. And for Ruth it is a story of discovery, the unfolding of a past she knew nothing about. Told in vivid, evocative prose that conjures up the beauty and history of both Hawaiian and Japanese cultures, it’s the powerful and poignant tale that readers of Moloka'i have been awaiting for fifteen years.

The Hawaiian Island of Moloka`i: FICTION: HAWAIIAN ADVENTURE Novel Three: By Maui Author, Sydney Theadora Character,TOMMY MALINO: The son of Malea from novel One: Loving Under Waterfalls. Barely 21, Tommy leaves college at Kent State, in Ohio, for his birthplace of Moloka`i. He leaves behind a pretty relaxed lifestyle for his father's working farm. The Malino Ranch of Moloka`i becomes his new stomping grounds, where he joins his sister Lehua, from novel two: The Hawaiian Island of Kaho`olawe. And his sister Chelsea: from novel four, The Hawaiian Island of Ni ihau. NOVEL (3) and (4) intertwine as two siblings leave Ohio and begin their adult lives on Moloka`i. Both novels take you around the eight Hawaiian Islands in one adventure after the other. (This is a great read for young adult. And a great gift for that college student in your life. I wanted to write a book from the male perspective--I based this story on my nephew. It covers the trials and tribulations of a boy breaking the money chain from his parents after college, and his attempts to marry the girl of his dreams. Tommy was born on Moloka´i, schooled on the Mainland U.S, then returns to Moloka´i as an adult. The adaptation from a playful, carefree, college lifestyle to ranch life on Moloka´i is quite differant. A serious change in culture too! The novel shows Moloka´i in current time. It takes place from 2009-2010. There´s a dog ranch, a fabulous horse barn, his doctor-grandpa´s mansion and hospitol, his two sister´s... These family characters run for 5 novels. This is the Tommy book, my boy book! If you are following the series, you need to read the Tommy book! He is grown up now and the main character of Moloka´i. (None of my novels need to be read in order.) Aloha, Sydney Theadora Website: sydneytheadora.vpweb.com

In this one-man play, we accompany Stevenson on his many journeys, including a visit in 1888 to the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i to find Father Damien, the Belgian priest who ministered to the lepers abandoned there. Stevenson spent a lifetime journeying across the seas - in search of love, work, and always a milder climate to stave off "Bloody Jack," his nickname for the violent hemorrhages brought on by consumption. In this one-man play, we accompany Stevenson on his many journeys, including a visit in 1888 to the Hawaiian island of Moloka'i - undertaken not for the sake of his fragile health but to pay his respects to Father Damien, the Belgian priest who had gone to Moloka'i to minister to the lepers and who died as one of them. Inspired by stories of the priest's unbounded charity and kindness, Stevenson was determined to visit the leper colony and subsequently became one of the most ardent and eloquent defenders against slanderous attacks on Damien's reputation.
