More Answered Questions

Michael
Michael asked Alan Brennert:

The way you captured Hawaii-based characters was so real. Did you spend much time on O'ahu and Moloka'i? Do you have family connections to any of the residents of Kalaupapa? Will we see any other Hawaii-based books in the near future?

Emma-leigh Rioux
Emma-leigh Rioux asked Alan Brennert:

What would you say is the theme for "Moloka'i"? Is there more than one theme? Does the theme or themes correlate with "Daughter of Moloka'i"? I love these books by the way, how you detail the setting and emotions is so raw and beautiful.

Cynthia Shannon
Cynthia Shannon asked Alan Brennert:

With all the research you do before writing your books, what's one interesting, unexpected thing about the period you write about in Moloka'i that you didn’t know before you set out to write the book?
