For Whom the Stars Shine--Great Book!

This is a great book. Very interesting and well written. Get one for yourself I am sure you will enjoy it.

When is Linda going to write the 2nd book?!?

This book was great. However, it has been two years since this book was published. Okay Linda, when will we see Book 2?

You will love this book!!

Linda Chaikin has a way with words and making characters seem real. I love this book and if you want it all get this book! You will not regret it! Can't wait for the next one!

Just gotta' read it!

This is one of Linda Chaikin's best. It's set in tropical Hawaii as well as San Fransisco. In the book, Eden is stuck in the middle of Hawaiian politics, as well as the mystery surrounding her mother's death. How can she learn the truth? If that isn't enough, this novel also tells you about the first missionaries to come to Hawaii and their somewhat wayward descendants. It also has romance! A MUST read!

Eden finds out about her mothers death after much opposition

I thought this book is one of Linda Chaikin's best. I enjoy history and appereciated the history of how Americans first came to Hawaii and how some cared enough to start a leper colony. Eden chooses to become a nurse to help her father discover a cure for the lepers. I also enjoyed the mystery of how Eden tried to find out how her mother actually died since no one ever wanted to discuss it with her.
