You might find your neighbor in this book. Or your childhood hula teacher. Or the farmer who grows your vegetables, the man at your favorite chili counter, the artist who weaved your lauhala mat. Jocelyn Fujiis profiles in "Stories of Aloha" highlight the authentic core of Hawaii: its people. Modest, resilient, resourceful, sometimes struggling and always extraordinary, the cultural treasures and small family businesses have built our neighborhoods and defined Hawaii through several generations. They are the face of 21st-century Hawaii, the aloha behind the glamor. Whether visitor or resident, youll find their stories heroic, enriching, enlightening and inspiring.
