When a sugar baron kicks John Tana off his farmland on Maui in the mid-1800s, the orphan Hawaiian seventeen-year-old feels the shock of the dramatic change in land control in Hawai'i. Western capitalism and private property clash with the communal lifestyle and sharing of the common people. Many Hawaiians lost their lands because the planters convinced a king of the need for individual farmlands for Hawaiians but, in reality, intended to make it so complicated few would do so. This led to the vast plantations on the islands and destitution for Hawaiians. John's story reveals the path of the power shift from the monarchs to the western business interests in the 1800s which drove Hawaiians into poverty. Homeless after being evicted, John sets out for Lahaina in his canoe to seek relatives. Lahaina waters are filled with ships. Whaling ship captains and sailors rule the town and torment him. There he meets a beautiful cousin but learns that the western religion of Christianity forbids a romantic a relationship. John learns a killer hired by the sugar baron has found him. This threat and a ship captain seeking revenge force him to sail his canoe to Honolulu where he finds life is even more complicated. There the intense racism against Asians boils over when a Chinese man he befriended kills his employer. John seeks justice for him, and when he finds the man, convinces him to surrender to the police. A newspaper article and photo reveal John's presence in Honolulu. A Hawaiian lawyer who defends the Chinese man becomes John's friend and advisor. His aunt sends his cousin to a strict girl's boarding school in the city where he is forbidden to contact her so he immerses himself in learning the secret martial art of lua to distract his mind. But a young French girl pesters him. The future king of the Hawaiian monarchy takes an interest in his martial arts skills and invites John to join his militia. In a dramatic scene, the surprising truth about the cousin's parentage is revealed. Encouraged by the news they are not related, John tries to talk to her but his efforts are blocked by another sugar baron who wants to marry her off to another. As John tries to accept this, he learns that the hired killer has found him. After a fierce fight for his life, John realizes he can no longer stay in Honolulu. John escapes in his canoe and heads to Kaua'i where he hopes he can enjoy a quiet rural life.

Elegant, brutal, and profound—this magnificent debut captures the grit and glory of modern Hawai'i with breathtaking force and accuracy. In a stunning collection that announces the arrival of an incredible talent, Kristiana Kahakauwila travels the islands of Hawai'i, making the fabled place her own. Exploring the deep tensions between local and tourist, tradition and expectation, façade and authentic self, This Is Paradise provides an unforgettable portrait of life as it’s truly being lived on Maui, Oahu, Kaua'i and the Big Island. In the gut-punch of “Wanle,” a beautiful and tough young woman wants nothing more than to follow in her father’s footsteps as a legendary cockfighter. With striking versatility, the title story employs a chorus of voices—the women of Waikiki—to tell the tale of a young tourist drawn to the darker side of the city’s nightlife. “The Old Paniolo Way” limns the difficult nature of legacy and inheritance when a patriarch tries to settle the affairs of his farm before his death. Exquisitely written and bursting with sharply observed detail, Kahakauwila’s stories remind us of the powerful desire to belong, to put down roots, and to have a place to call home.

Condemned to death by a fearful ruler at the hour of his birth on the island of Hawai'i (the "the Big Island") Kamehameha rises to become his generation's greatest warrior. Confronting and defeating successive rivals, Kamehameha cements his rule over the Big Island and later, the rest of the Hawaiian Islands, founding the Kingdom of Hawaii. Born into a society unchanged since voyagers from distant Polynesia settled the islands a thousand years earlier, Kamehameha witnesses the Hawaiians' first contact with the outside world: the arrival of the English explorer, James Cook, in 1778. Kamehameha is the first among his people to understand the transformative implications of Cook's visit, and he later turns this understanding to his advantage in his struggles with his rivals. Once There Was Fire brings old Hawaii to life through the words and actions of Kamehameha, his strong-willed and rebellious consort, Ka'ahumanu, his favorite brother, Keli'imaika'i, and Kamehameha's sons, nephews, comrades in arms, foreign advisers, and bitter enemies. Inviting readers to see Hawaii as Kamehameha and his people may have seen it, Once There Was Fire is the story of Hawaii novelist James Michener never told.
