When the author was a child, her German grandmother would call her 'my Hawaiian maiden', which Cornelia thought was simply because of her long, sun-sparkled brown hair. In elementary school, she came across the book The Life of Lili'uokalani, the Last Queen of Hawaii. At first, the book delighted her until the end, which revealed that Queen Lili'uokalani loved her people so much she willingly gave up her throne so they could become Americans. Saddened by this, and somehow feeling something was not right with the story, Cornelia went home to her mother and asked if it was true, only to be told that she would most likely learn the truth of such things when she grew up. In college, Cornelia began to uncover that truth. She learned that around 1893 the Hawaiian kingdom was overthrown, its queen was put under house arrest and the islands became annexed to the United States. As the decades passed, Hawaii became a desired destination, not just for the military or holidaymakers but those who sought healing of mind, body and spirit. The siren call of the islands was still strong and reaching out to those who could feel its aloha spirit.
