Rainbows Over Kapa'a

A story about growing up on Kaua'i when Aloha was how people lived.

This memoir also details how the author's parents built and operated the Roxy Theater in Kapa'a - once the largest theater in all Hawaii.

Come with me and visit a multi-racial town where the password for success is aloha. Rainbows Over Kapa'a delves into 200 years of Hawaiian history. It tells the story of growth of the sugar plantations and of a marshland that the rich did not want. From its mud grew a community where enterprising immigrants and itinerants could live in freedom and prosper.
