Synopsis Shaketown; The Madam's Daughter by : Joanne Orion Miller
Sex is never discussed in the polite drawing rooms of San Francisco society, though there's plenty to be had from the dank hovels of Chinatown to the glittering showplaces of the beau monde. Growing up far from the drawing rooms of Nob Hill, Cayley Wallace was "raised right" by her religious Irish family in the overcrowded rowhouses south of the slot (Market Street). Her dreams are simple: a warm coat, a husband who doesn’t beat her, a few pennies to ease her family’s poverty. But dreams are hard to come by in San Francisco in 1889. Landing a job as a day servant on "the Hill" is an improvement – until her employer begins to prey on her. An opportunity to work as a bar girl frees her, but makes her an pariah in her tight-knit community. Scholarly Wo Sam only wants to earn enough to pay off his passage and return home to China with enough money to buy a proper bride and house - if he can keep away from the roving white gangs and tong soldiers that turn the streets of San Francisco into a bloody battleground. He's determined to hang on to his dream, even as he sinks deeper into the quicksand criminal underworld of "Little China." When their paths cross, the earth moves, in more ways than one. Sometimes reaching for a dream means turning against everything you’ve always held dear. And sometimes new dreams are better than anything you might have imagined. Based on real characters from San Francisco’s history.

Synopsis Freckled by : Tw Neal
For fans of The Glass Castle and Educated, comes mystery author Toby Neal's personal story of surviving a wild childhood in paradise.Born in 1965 to hippie surfer parents who just want to ride waves, use substances, and hide from society, red-headed Toby grows up as one of only a few hundred Caucasian "haole" people on the rugged, beautiful North Shore of Kauai, Hawaii.Toby's idealistic parents, breaking away from high achieving families, struggle with mental health and addiction issues as they try to live according to their own rules. Despite the hardship and deprivations of life on Kauai, they return again and again to an island whose hold on them is more powerful than any drug.Told from the immersive, first-person view of a child experiencing turbulent times as they occur, Freckled will take you on a journey you won't soon forget as Toby catches an octopus with her bare hands to feed the family, careens on her first bike down a rugged dirt trail deep in the jungle, and makes money by selling magic mushrooms to a drug dealer. Living in tents and off the land without electricity or communication with the outside world, Toby escapes into reading and imagination to deal with racial harassment and indifferent parenting. Sensitive, imaginative, and resilient,like a surfer girl Anne of Green Gables. Toby clings to a dream of academic achievement and a "normal" life. "Neal's prose is often effortless and elegant." ~Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis Kua‘āina Kahiko by : Patrick Vinton Kirch
In early Hawai‘i, kua‘āina were the hinterlands inhabited by nā kua‘āina, or country folk. Often these were dry, less desirable areas where much skill and hard work were required to wrest a living from the lava landscapes. The ancient district of Kahikinui in southeast Maui is such a kua‘āina and remains one of the largest tracts of undeveloped land in the islands. Named after Tahiti Nui in the Polynesian homeland, its thousands of pristine acres house a treasure trove of archaeological ruins—witnesses to the generations of Hawaiians who made this land their home before it was abandoned in the late nineteenth century. Kua‘āina Kahiko follows kama‘āina archaeologist Patrick Vinton Kirch on a seventeen-year-long research odyssey to rediscover the ancient patterns of life and land in Kahikinui. Through painstaking archaeological survey and detailed excavations, Kirch and his students uncovered thousands of previously undocumented ruins of houses, trails, agricultural fields, shrines, and temples. Kirch describes how, beginning in the early fifteenth century, Native Hawaiians began to permanently inhabit the rocky lands along the vast southern slope of Haleakalā. Eventually these planters transformed Kahikinui into what has been called the greatest continuous zone of dryland planting in the Hawaiian Islands. He relates other fascinating aspects of life in ancient Kahikinui, such as the capture and use of winter rains to create small wet-farming zones, and decodes the complex system of heiau, showing how the orientations of different temple sites provide clues to the gods to whom they were dedicated. Kirch examines the sweeping changes that transformed Kahikinui after European contact, including how some maka'āinana families fell victim to unscrupulous land agents. But also woven throughout the book is the saga of Ka ‘Ohana o Kahikinui, a grass-roots group of Native Hawaiians who successfully struggled to regain access to these Hawaiian lands. Rich with ancedotes of Kirch’s personal experiences over years of field research, Kua'āina Kahiko takes the reader into the little-known world of the ancient kua‘āina.
