Hawaii: Beyond Dreams

A historical novel of the last great voyage of the Hawaiians. It is 1820, just over 40 years since Capt. Cook discovered Hawaii. Nearly 90 percent of the population has perished. Died of cholera, small pox, measles, syphilis, the common cold. Death is everywhere. And finally one tiny village in far off Molokai decides to steal a great war canoe and go voyaging like their forefathers. Except it has been 500 years since the last voyage and they have forgotten the secrets of the stars. They turn to their fisherman who balks. He wants to go to Honolulu, a place of death, to ask the white sailors how to voyage. As in all great travels, there are problems unseen and gifts unimaginable.
