Produktbeschreibung

Homeless on Maui? Sleeping on the beach sounds like fun . . . Until you have no other choice. When single mom Carrie Ann Emerson and her little girl Rorie have to find a place of their own, they encounter one stroke of bad luck-or bad landlord-after another. Carrie Ann is beginning to wonder if they'll end up living on the beach. But then they find the home of their dreams in rural Makawao, and an adopted family as well. Auntie Rose McKenzie, the kind old lady next door, needs their help and company as she finally faces long-ago memories of heartbreak and loss. Rorie loves the country life, Carrie Ann's career is taking off, and romance is on the horizon. But when Auntie Rose receives bad news about her land, and a storm sweeps over Makawao, Carrie Ann must pick up the pieces, or once again, she and Rorie will be without a place to call home. You'll love A Dollar and Love, because love--and a strong woman--always find a way. Get it now! Volume 2, The Maui Trilogy. 84,000 words

Autorenporträt

Jill Engledow was born in England and grew up in Texas, Hawaii, and Guam. She moved to Maui in 1968, a time when the island's old plantation-days rural lifestyle was fading. After a few years of raising goats, vegetables, and foster children, Jill moved on to write about Maui as an award-winning newspaper journalist and then as the author of nonfiction books on island history. Now she uses her extensive knowledge of Maui history in novels about women making their way on the island, juggling their desire for love with their need for independence.
