Under fear of imminent invasion, the WARDs guide pilots into blacked-out airstrips and track unidentified planes across Pacific skies. But not everyone thinks the women are up to the job, and the new recruits must rise above their differences and work side by side despite the resistance and heartache they meet along the way. With America’s future on the line, Daisy is determined to prove herself worthy. And with the man she’s falling for out on the front lines, she cannot fail.

The knock at the door shook her from a deep sleep. When she saw the cops, Jessica knew why they were there. As a LA Detective, she’d been on the other side of the door plenty of times. Someone she loved was dead. Time slowed. Her heart sank. They knew she knew. Before they could get to the news, her mind raced. Growing up in Hawaii, half of her family in law enforcement and the other half gang members, she’d known the darker side of life. As the detectives explained why they’d come, Jessica was only partly listening until they said it was her father who’d died… …in a plane wreck. And in that moment, the instinct to grieve was gone. He was meticulous in his maintenance. She didn’t believe it was an accident. Who murdered her father? Jessica was going home to Hawaii.

With little faith in the local PD’s limited resources, and before they find another body, the governor calls in retired LAPD detective Jessica Kealoha to join the serial killer task force. Jessica quickly butts heads with the mayor of the island who is demanding results and questioning her tactics. When the killer sends a letter to the newspaper with details of her best friend's murder long ago–a chilling connection becomes a reality that Jessica can't live with.

Summary Book and excerpt Hawaiian Mythology :
Download or Read book Hawaiian Mythology written by Martha Warren Beckwith and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1982-06-01 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt/Synopsis: Ku and Hina—man and woman—were the great ancestral gods of heaven and earth for the ancient Hawaiians. They were life's fruitfulness and all the generations of mankind, both those who are to come and those already born. The Hawaiian gods were like great chiefs from far lands who visited among the people, entering their daily lives sometimes as humans or animals, sometimes taking residence in a stone or wooden idol. As years passed, the families of gods grew and included the trickster Maui, who snared the sun, and fiery Pele of the volcano. Ancient Hawaiians lived by the animistic philosophy that assigned living souls to animals, trees, stones, stars, and clouds, as well as to humans. Religion and mythology were interwoven in Hawaiian culture; and local legends and genealogies were preserved in song, chant, and narrative. Martha Beckwith was the first scholar to chart a path through the hundreds of books, articles, and little-known manuscripts that recorded the oral narratives of the Hawaiian people. Her book has become a classic work of folklore and ethnology, and the definitive treatment of Hawaiian mythology. With an introduction by Katherine Luomala.

This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt/Synopsis: Ancient Hawaiians lived in a world where all of nature was alive with the spirits of their ancestors. These aumakua have lived on through the ages as family guardians and take on many natural forms, thus linking many Hawaiians to the animals, plants, and natural phenomena of their island home. Individuals have a reciprocal relationship with their guardian spirits and offer worship and sacrifice in return for protection, inspiration, and guidance.

Notes are included, reflecting the careful and extensive research done for this volume at the Bishop Museum Library and Archives in Honolulu and at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. A short section on the process of creating the block prints that illustrate the book is also included. The matching poster of "A Chance Meeting with the Iiwi" measures 22 x 28 inches.
