Author Talk with Tom Peek
Join author Tom Peek for a reading from and discussion of his book, Daughters
of Fire. Mr. Peek will be joined by acclaimed ukulele instrumentalist Steven
Strauss, who will play Hawaiian music.
More than a decade in the
research and writing, Daughters of Fire mills Hawai‘i’s tensions and cultural
revival into a gripping novel that illuminates the irrepressible spirit of a
native people struggling to keep faith with aloha.
Author Tom Peek has
lived for two decades in Hawai’i. He has been a mountain and astronomy guide on
Mauna Kea and an eruption ranger, firefighter, and exhibit writer on Kilauea,
working closely with Hawaiian elders and cultural practitioners on both
volcanoes.
