Burning Up the Rain (Hawaiian Heroes)
“She felt as if some reckless stranger had come to visit her, mind and body. But was this new Lalei a stranger, or was she simply the Hawaiian girl who had once eagerly emerged on her visits to the Kona Ho’omalus?
Slumping back against the upright rock behind her, she gazed unseeingly at the gentle surf lapping at her feet. She sat in shadow, but outside the trees, the sun sparkled on the sea. It was as if she sat in a tunnel…or a hallway.
Slowly the scene slipped away and became another place. ...Day became night.
She walked along the broad upper hallway of her family’s Honolulu home. Moonlight shone through the tall windows, limning the familiar walk in soft shades. As she neared the end, instead of her own bedroom door she saw a huge doorway.
Her heart pounding, limbs shaking with fear, she reached out and took the old-fashioned door pull and opened the door.
Her father stood there. He was just as she remembered him from photos, slim and smiling, with ebony Ho’omalu eyes.
