Sweet Paradise: A Hymn to Hawai'i's Women

Sweet Paradise is a hymn to the women of Hawaii. Using over 150 original works of art created especially for this book, it is a painter’s historical journal, recording the intimate thoughts, cultural experiences, and independent minds of Hawaii’s women. Sweet Paradise is a masterful and feminine portrait of Hawaii. From the nostalgic to the magical, from the gecko on Tutu’s Koa Bed to Mapuana’s lost hair, readers will be in familiar territory. Now, almost 20 years after its first publication, Sweet Paradise can be discovered by a new generation of Hawaii’s women.
