Hawaii Heritage — Dana Fuller Ross

The flames of revolt blaze across the Hawaiian islands, plunging the new republic into revolution and bringing a pro empire to its knees. The golden reign of a great and beautiful queen comes to a violent end, her once-dazzling dynasty swept up in a maelstrom of political intolerance and seething unrest. In the face of such rampant destruction, only one bold family dares to rise up against insurmountable odds in the name of honor, justice, and freedom: THE HOLTS.

1895. The ruthless overthrow of Queen Liliuokalani and the seeds of counterrevolution turn the island paradise of Hawaii into a land of brutal turmoil and dark treachery. Among the fallen queen's faithful supporters is royalist rebel Sam Brentwood. Tortured and sentenced to death for treason, he battles to save his life, his marriage, his farm, and the honor of his runaway sister...while across the sea, on the teeming immigrant shores of Ellis Island, daring Dr. Janessa Holt Lawrence wages her own war against the cruel ravages of prejudice and disease... and adventurous Mike Holt follows his dream to the wild swamps of Florida to become a pioneer of a new industry destined to change the course of American history...in the gripping Hawaii Heritage, Volume Five of THE HOLTS: An American Dynasty.
