My Lani

By J. R. Duke

We all have regrets. Lani has more than her share including the biggest one, shooting somebody. Unable to face the consequences she hides from the truth, seeks solace in alcohol, and contemplates turning the gun on herself. Her mother will have none of that. Although dead for many years she visits Lani in spirit to help sort out her life and come to grips with her past, present, and future.

J. R. Duke

Much like the narrator of his novel, Doctor Gillespie's Discovery, J. R. Duke lives alone out in the boonies on the big island of Hawaii where life is generally always peaceful and quiet, interrupted only occasionally by volcano eruptions, earthquakes, and hurricanes.
