The Last Aloha

The Last Aloha

A vivid portrait of the final days of the Hawaiian monarchy, when descendants of American missionaries toppled the throne. Suppressed for a century, this story is a little-known part of American history. We view it through the eyes of Laura Jennings, who lives in 1886 San Franciscoâ€”a city of bonanza millionaires, newfangled cable cars, bustles, and bowler hats. As Laura is being fitted for her wedding gown, a tragic accident kills her father and her fiancÃ©. Suddenly alone in the world, Laura goes to Hawaii to live with relatives sheâ€™s never met, little knowing that her destiny will become intertwined with those of Hawaiiâ€™s last great sovereigns.
