Attention Book Groups

If you have read the book Molokai by Alan Brennert, you may enjoy reading another of his books, Honolulu.  It is the story of a young "picture bride" named Regret who travels from Korea to Hawaii in 1914 in search of a better life.  Instead of the rich young husband and chance for education she has been promised, she is married off to a poor, cruel laborer.  The story tells of Hawaii's history, and of Regret's search for a better life in her new home.  Available as a Book Group To Go Bag.
