Excerpt from Beneath Hawaiian Palms and Stars If the purpose of my stay became known at all. It was to a few of my personal friends only, who pitied me, but kept their own counsel. Besides, none would have cared whether I wrote up on politics or polypi; for, to tell the truth, the people of Hawaii are tired of writers. I am glad to be able to say this after all the reports about the government officials, and the missionary families, which are accused of enter taining authors of intended books, in order to state one side of the question to them.

In the bestselling tradition of In the Heart of the Sea, The Colony, “an impressively researched” (Rocky Mountain News) account of the history of America’s only leper colony located on the Hawaiian island of Molokai, is “an utterly engrossing look at a heartbreaking chapter” (Booklist) in American history and a moving tale of the extraordinary people who endured it. Beginning in 1866 and continuing for over a century, more than eight thousand people suspected of having leprosy were forcibly exiled to the Hawaiian island of Molokai -- the longest and deadliest instance of medical segregation in American history. Torn from their homes and families, these men, women, and children were loaded into shipboard cattle stalls and abandoned in a lawless place where brutality held sway. Many did not have leprosy, and many who did were not contagious, yet all were ensnared in a shared nightmare. Here, for the first time, John Tayman reveals the complete history of the Molokai settlement and its unforgettable inhabitants. It's an epic of ruthless manhunts, thrilling escapes, bizarre medical experiments, and tragic, irreversible error. Carefully researched and masterfully told, The Colony is a searing tale of individual bravery and extraordinary survival, and stands as a testament to the power of faith, compassion, and the human spirit.
The scene is set in this novel when Atherton and Jessica Scully, two of Honolulu’s elite, decide to invest in the Tropical Palace Hotel. Kimi Kai’Ika, from Nanakuli, Teri’i Fa’atua, from Tahiti, Ito Nimura, from Honolulu, and Felice Santos, from Waianae decide that the way to solve their financial problems is to become entertainers for the hotel. The result is a sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking story of young love, marital problems, and the changes brought to Hawaii in the 1930´s and 1940´s by Tourism and the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
