Don't have much time this month due to other obligations, but I managed to fit in HALEOLA’S TEARS A TALE OF OLD MOLOKA‘I (no touchstone), which is a prequel to Molokai and Daughter of Molokai. It was a short story describing the voyage from Oahu to Molokai and the first few days in the leper village. It was quite good and I will be reading Molokai hopefully later this year. Great choice of a new to me author!
