Kauai . . . in my heart

By Harry T. Yamanaka

Growing up as one of 13 children in the tiny sugar plantation camp of Kipu on the island of Kauai in the 1930s and 1940s always felt like a grand adventure to Harry Yamanaka. From catching frogs to help feed his many siblings, to making his own fishing canoes with corrugated iron roofing or walking along a dark road with the ghost of Felix, Harry's memories of his childhood are humorous, sweet and insightful. He also writes with love and respect about his parents, who immigrated individually from Japan, met on Kauai, fell in love, and together raised their large family on his father's salary of $35 per month.When you have finished reading this collection of Harry's short stories, you will find that Kauai is in your heart, too.
