Michelle is living in limbo after graduating from college, undecided about her future career plans. It's pretty easy to do when you live in Paradise: Hawaii is full of temporary jobs, temporary inhabitants, and endless partying, with a backdrop of picture-perfect scenery and weather to round it all out. But when her predictable bubble of self-doubt is burst by a spate of uncharacteristically bold choices, she finds herself embroiled in not one, but TWO bad romances - her own and her best friend's. As their attachments grow, so do her misgivings, exceeded only by her addiction to the hot sex and pretty words strung together by her head-over-heels in-love boyfriend.... or is the man she thinks she loves only a figment of her imagination? She must examine her innermost soft spots and biggest identity questions, with the help of her friends and the guidance of powers greater than herself, to decide.If you are ready to escape from a COVID lockdown to a vacation in Hawaii, or wondered what it's REALLY like to live there, then this book is for you. Questions of race, ethnic identity, Hawaiian Sovereignty, spirituality, power imbalances, and sexuality are explored through the eyes of Michelle and experiences with her friends. The legal, the illegal, the right, the wrong: all are laid bare by this glimpse into the secret world of influence and ohana.

This breakthrough book examines dynamic intersections of poetics and geography. Gathering the essays of an international cohort whose work converges at the crossroads of poetics and the material world, Geopoetics in Practice offers insights into poetry, place, ecology, and writing the world through a critical-creative geographic lens. This collection approaches geopoetics as a practice by bringing together contemporary geographers, poets, and artists who contribute their research, methodologies, and creative writing. The 24 chapters, divided into the sections “Documenting,” “Reading,” and “Intervening,” poetically engage discourses about space, power, difference, and landscape, as well as about human, non-human, and more-than-human relationships with Earth. Key explorations of this edited volume include how poets engage with geographical phenomena through poetry and how geographers use creativity to explore space, place, and environment. This book makes a major contribution to the geohumanities and creative geographies by presenting geopoetics as a practice that compels its agents to take action. It will appeal to academics and students in the fields of creative writing, literature, geography, and the environmental and spatial humanities, as well as to readers from outside of the academy interested in where poetry and place overlap.

Let's Speak Hawaiian is a comprehensive Hawaiian language course intended for use at the secondary school and college levels. In this second edition the text continues to answer the need for new methods and materials in language instruction and presents extensive research on the Hawaiian language. It is composed almost entirely of material that has been tested in classroom situations; it employs the aural-oral method and emphasizes the development of conversational skills through dialogues and drills. Hawaiian and English texts are on separate pages to aid in rendering the student's first language inoperative. These methods, together with memorization and drill, will help the student more readily to achieve fluency in Hawaiian, unhampered by English. The text includes directed responses, questions and answers, short narratives, pattern practice, conversations, and material for practice in tenses, sentence expansion, and comparative forms. This new edition also offers more comprehensive illustrations and explanations of word usage and syntax, based on the most recent and most authoritative Hawaiian language definitions.

From a New York Times–bestselling author, a hostage situation leads to love for an undercover cop in book three of this romantic suspense series. Shell-shocked after a nightmarish school shooting, Amalie Pope retreats to an aging plantation house near Bordelaise, Louisiana, to heal, physically and emotionally. She’s there barely an hour when a tornado rips through bayou country, mercifully leaving the house intact. She’s stranded, but unafraid—until a knock on the door. Four escaped prisoners barge inside, and in an instant Amalie is a hostage again. These men are wounded, desperate and dangerous—with one exception. Undercover DEA operative Nick Aroyo is on the run with the gang he’s infiltrated. The only thing he wants more than this collar is to protect fragile, frightened Amalie, who has surrendered herself to his care, body, soul . . . and heart. But he’ll have to play the thug in order to keep her—and his secret—safe, because even though the storm has passed, the danger remains. . . .
