Produktbeschreibung
Patsy's Gingerbread Fantasy, set in multicultural Hawaii, includes poems of ohana, resolve, and perseverance, aloha transcending time and place as a family endures and grieves for losses across decades. Layers of meaning unfold through carefully depicted images and scenes centered around a mother whose grit and passions are timeless. The reader is emersed in culture, country, and coffee as he/she travels to rural Pahala Town in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Punalüu Beach during a tidal wave, Queen's Medical Center on Oahu, and a kitchen filled with gingerbread house candies, nutmeg, turmeric, anise and lucky bottom fish to steam on the barbeque grill.
