Wonderful View Of Peoples' Lives In Hawaii, Wwii

Buy this book! The Best news is that Sara A. is just beginning (with only a very few rough edges) her journey, in this work, of reaching into our hearts, souls, memories, and our humor. Her view of WWII via a child's eye is a special treat for the reader. She now has 3 more very special books out...more on Hawaii in WWII, plus women's other roles in WWII. As a male degreed history buff (born near end of WWII) and avid reader, this work was a real treat for me, especially since I lived for some years on Oahu and loved visiting Big Island. Yes, I've ordered more!

The book that got me to start reading again!

I don’t read a lot of books, but when I saw the cover of this one, I was instantly hooked. Romance, mystery, war...all the makings of a good book! I believe this is my favorite book of all time! You won’t be disappointed.
