Queen Liliuokalani: Royal Prisoner (2013)
“With her headaches and sleepiness, she mostly stayed in bed. All the royal children visited her, and even Paki stopped by every morning, but she grew too tired to do much more than listen to their reports about life in Honolulu and around the court. Felix split his time between sitting at his sister’s side and joining the others for luaus, trips to the beach, or more bowling expeditions. Despite the friction between some of the Hawaiians and the missionaries and westerners, life here was easy. ...The food was fresh and plentiful, and everyone liked to have fun.
The longer Felix stayed, the more he came to understand and appreciate the concept of aloha. Before he’d come to Hawaii, he thought the word meant just “hello” and “good-bye.” But he quickly came to understand that it meant much more. It was almost a way of life. Lydia had explained to him that aloha was a way to spread goodness to other people. Letting him and Maisie stay at the palace was aloha, Felix decided.
When Maisie grew stronger and got her memory back, Felix knew he needed to tell her that he’d found Liliu.MoreLess
