READ AN EXCERPT
The reflection from scattered tiki torches competed with the moonlight
flickering across the black velvet lagoon. Gentle trade winds, carrying
the sweet peach-like scent of plumeria, tickled the flames and the palm
fronds. Clearly a welcomed reprieve from five straight days of stifling
temperatures. A catamaran and a couple small outrigger canoes, their
artfully painted fiberglass hulls made to look like the wood of ancient
Koa trees, were pulled up along the sandy shoreline. The heavy beat of
drums reverberated off the tall palms and set the rhythm for a
half-dozen pair of grass-skirted hips dancing on the main stage while
vacationers laughed, ogled, and stuffed their faces with shredded pork,
scoops of macaroni salad, steaming flavored rice wrapped in Ti leaves,
thick slices of pineapple, papaya, mango, and freshly roasted macadamia
nuts that were all artfully displayed on wide banana leaf covered center
pieces. They sat cross-legged in the sand, sipping Mai Tais from
plastic cups made to look like hollowed out coconut shells, lost in a
tropical fantasy that came complete with a souvenir snap shot taken with
an authentic hula girl—the perfect paradise as portrayed on the
website. The noise from the music, chanting, and laughter, drowned out
the frantic noise of the nearby kitchen, and it drowned out the
desperate pleas and painful cries of Makani Palahia from the far side of
the beach at Auntie Lily’s Luau Cove and Hawaiian Barbecue.
