Malia Mattoch-McManus

Eliza finds herself torn between family, government, and politics when she falls for a drug dealer. Her lover flees and the situation forces her to marry someone else to keep her child. The story is set during the time the United States government worked to overthrow the Hawaiian monarchy. The author does a fine job describing the religion, weapons, and a superior belief in ones actions can undermine families and monarchies.
