Makaweli, Kauai, 1935.
Young Warren Robinson grows up between two worlds-the son of a ranching family whose roots stretch back to the Hawaiian monarchy, and a boy of the red dirt, raised alongside the Hawaiian and Japanese families who work the cane fields and cattle ranges of the island's west side.
When an old Hawaiian cowboy named Kimo sees something ancient in the boy's blood, he draws Warren into a covenant that will shape his life: go out into the world, learn its lessons, but never forget where you come from. Always come home.
From the burning cane fields to the sacred peaks of Waialeale, from the attack on Pearl Harbor to the quiet return of a young man who kept his promise, Sweet Fire Over Makaweli is a sweeping story of family, legacy, and the land that holds us.
Based on the true history of one of Hawaii's most storied families, this novel brings to life a Kauai that has nearly vanished-when the cane fires still burned, the paniolo still rode, and the old ways still breathed in the red dirt.
