If you think the title of George Clooney's film "Descendants" was
about a comatose unfaithful wife--you need to read " Lehua, Ka'ao a ka
Wahine" to learn where the descendants in the movie got the land they
were so uptight about.
Land theft, cultural destruction, forbidden interracial romance,
Christianity gone amok, great black horses, nubile young native
women.... A love story set against the collapse of the Kingdom of
Hawai'i--19th century before the seizure by the US.
