Under the Koa Tree<\/em>, by Lucilyn Rodrigues, delivers a story connected to Hawaii’s spirit, bringing both warmth and authenticity.<\/p>\n

But this gift is no simple blessing. Raising the question at the book’s heart: will she ever find her ohana again, or will her gift keep her wandering forever?<\/em><\/p>\n

About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n

Born and raised in Hawaii, Ms. Rodrigues now resides in Colorado. As a child, she enjoyed the island life. Long summer days spent at the beach, playing with the neighborhood kids, and exploring in her garden.<\/p>\n

There was one particular tree from her childhood home that was a habitat for Anoles. Her children also grew a fondness and curiosity for discovering critters. Especially, “Anole watching” from their garden in Hawaii.<\/p>\n

From the first scribbles of pencil on paper to embracing the completed manuscript, this book was a bittersweet project. In between writing the pages was an enduring journey alongside family and friends for their beloved Troy and Morganne.<\/p>\n
