About this ebook

Revised and improved edition!

1971: Two lost girls on Maui. . .

 

One gets found. . .

 

The other must find herself.

 

Struggling to survive as a single mother, Carrie Ann Emerson has made a home for herself and her four-year-old daughter in the San Francisco hippie community of Haight-Ashbury.

 

Then little Rorie disappears. Frantic, Carrie Ann searches for her child. When word comes that Rorie has turned up in a hippie commune on the Hawaiian island of Maui, Carrie Ann must rush to this faraway place before her little girl can be put up for adoption.

 

But the judge, skeptical about a mother who somehow managed to misplace her child, will return Rorie only if the two stay on Maui. Now Carrie Ann must make their life anew.

 

Maui has its benefits—like meeting Michael. Carrie Ann thinks handsome, sexy Michael might be the man she needs.

 

But how much of herself must she give up to hold on to him? And, with or without a man, can Carrie Ann be the kind of mother her little girl needs?

Author

Jill Engledow

Jill Engledow was born in England and grew up in Texas, Hawaii, and Guam. She moved to Maui in 1968, a time when the island’s old plantation-days rural lifestyle was fading. After a few years of raising goats, vegetables, and foster children, Jill moved on to write about Maui as an award-winning newspaper journalist and then as the author of nonfiction books on island history. Now she uses her extensive knowledge of Maui history in novels about women making their way on the island, juggling their desire for love with their need for independence.
