Lehua, Ka'ao a ka Wahine
In the spring of 1819 King Ka me ha me ha the first died after reigning over the first unified Kingdom of Hawai’i. His young son, Li ho li ho, became Kamehameha II, but effective control of the government was inherited by the old king’s favorite wife, Ku hina Nui [Queen Regent], Ka’a hu ma nu. That fall, Liholiho was forced to agree to the abandonment of the native religion: the lifting of the ka pu.
Five months later, the first contingent of Christian missionaries arrived. It was a death sentence to the 3000 year old Ka naka Ma oli [true people] culture in Hawai’i.
Lehua lia kahu’ama lio’aka lani pa’aka lo le [Lehua, the shiny haired questioner], the fictitious young noblewoman of this novel, comes of age at this trying moment in Hawaiian history. Her ancestry gives her the right, responsibility and ability to be her people’s leader, but with the lifting of the kapu, she is suddenly bereft of her divine reason to be.
Beset by doubt, alien temptations and a welter of rational, if frightening, options, she falls in love with a half-Hawaiian paniolo [cowboy] who, in rescuing her from kidnappers, takes her on a romantic Hawaiian road trip, and they fall in love.
Together, they confront an uncertain future astride the divergent forces that will ultimately doom her culture.
In 1893 local American businessmen overthrew the Republic of Hawai’i and traded the Islands to the U. S.

In April of 1860, on her 17th birthday, Anne’s father gave her Wexford, a 15,000-acre cotton and tobacco plantation. He also gave her a new body servant, whom Anne named Moragan.
Moragan is not a conventional slave. She is about 10, Irish, and has a habit of speaking her mind – a trait that annoys Anne profoundly! Moragan, does not know the rules and conventions of being a slave – much less being a body servant, so Anne trains her. It is not an easy task for either one of them, and Moragan is certain her behind will be completely worn away before she learns to behave!
As America begins to fall apart at the seams, Anne and Moragan begin to forge a completely different relationship. Moragan runs Wexford House for Anne, and she learns what it means to be a slave from both perspectives: owner and owned. Anne always reminds Moragan that she and all the other servants are only stock, and not ‘people’.
Both of them are products of their time: and as Anne learns how to govern the society under her, she and Moragan discover who they truly are.
