80s culture ethnic fiction hawaii hawaiian multicultural non-teen pop

From back of book) Welcome to paradise where kids go hungry, single moms get taken advantage of, poverty runs rampant, and deadbeat dads plot deaths to avoid paying child support.

It's not the gorgeous, scenic, tourist-laden Hawaii that most people dream about, but for three young sisters: Wendy (12-years-old), Amanda (9-years-old), and Stephanie (5-years-old) it’s life.

Fricken Kids chronicles the year the three girls were neglected and forced to survive on their own for three weeks. It is set in 1985 and 1986, and narrated by nine-year-old Amanda Nakamura, a Hawaiian, Asian, Haole, Apache mixed girl who is struggling to find her identity in a world that is constantly falling apart around her. Their Mother, a full-time-student is too busy trying to find a new man, job, and lifestyle to guide them, their father, a full-time-coward is too busy not wanting anything to do with them to have anything to do with them, and everyone else is too concerned with fitting into the material culture to care about the ancient one. And the girls-- are as colorful and hypnotic as their island home is.

Waves - Book #2 [completed] by isabellaskyauthor

Mason 🎸 My life's in shambles. Okay, that's a little dramatic considering that my band broke up. But I don't know what to do with my future, my career and my life going forward. So I do the only reasonable thing and run as far as I can go - to Australia. Nobody here knows (or cares) how famous I am. Especially Riley doesn't care. She doesn't even like me and has no problem telling me how much she thinks I suck. Riley 🌊 He's the most arrogant person I've met in a long time. Demanding, entitled and conceited. Charming and pretty too. Urgh. Mutual friends force us to spent time together again and again. I just can't escape him. I don't want him and I don't need him, yet he's the constant dripping that will wear away the stones I've put around my heart for a good reason. ~~~ Waves is a "we don't like each other"-to-lovers book with a strong-minded female lead who has to learn to allow feelings again, and a cocky and witty (maybe unlikeable at first) male lead with a failed rockstar attitude. But I promise he's sweet underneath it all. 18+ ONLY (strong language, sexual content, swearing etc.) Trigger Warnings (may contain spoilers): 🚩loss of a loved one 🚩mentions of drugs ~~~ I'll try to update twice a week, but without a schedule this time. I may throw in a couple extra chapters here and there depending on how writing goes. Love, Izzy 🌿

My Long Lost Prince : Completed&[Edited ✔] by ChiFujiwara

Highest Ranking: #2 in a slight comedy, #2 in Hawaii and #1 in Hawaiian. Book scene: He seemed to change demeaner as he opened the door and called for me. Sebastian? "Time to come home. " I looked outside and it was nearly dark. "Oh thank you. " I said goodbye. He nodded and urged me to walk toward the exit. I heard a hard hit behind me and when I turned around, Sebastian was close behind me. "Everything ok?" I asked. "I am fine." My eyes widened and I decided not to ask any more questions. WARNING This book has a steady pacing but it's worth it. Also, this is the first book I've ever written and I hope that you like it! God bless all that does read it and those that don't. Take care and I wish you all the best. ATTENTION This book's characters, timeline, personalities, ideas, etc. are MINE and this will be explained below. Some things in this story are fictional. In this timeline I created, it's a mix of the past and the present. Hawaii has chiefs, villages, but also has resorts, phones, planes, jets, cars, etc. To make the story the way I want it to be. This is a story made by me, so if you wish to write a story inspired by it please say that the story was inspired by me or something to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts. Thank you for reading and I hope that you enjoy my book. ByeBye!
