Journey from Survival to Satisfaction in a Honolulu Taxi
Honolulu, HI, February 18, 2007 --(PR.com)-- A Novel: Aloha Where You Like Go? By Hawaii Author Cloudia W. Charters (“A fresh new voice”). Often a backdrop or gimmick, Hawaii people & culture speak here in their own special way. Folklore, History, Food and Spiritual Wisdom too. Already a Top 15 Amazon/Fiction/Hawaii book. A good read.
Forget about umbrella drinks and resorts. This well received first novel finally reveals the street level, “local” Hawaii of immigrants, children of immigrants, and of the Native Hawaiian People themselves. In their own unique “pidgin talking” way, locals share their unique, hard earned, practical life-wisdom as they ride along in the taxi driven by June, a transplanted Philadelphia girl who has a lot to learn about making it in “Paradise.” In this engaging story June learns much about local folklore (hula, music, attitudes), comfort food, family memories, supernatural occurrences, and approachable, yet profound, Spirituality through the Aloha of her passengers. Her many “hard knock” adventures teach June to understand what’s really unique and wonderful about Hawaii and Hawaii People. Ultimately, what June really learns about is herself and her values. Perhaps you will too. Stay Come to the Hawaii you never knew! Just leave the cocoanut bra at home!
