Madame Pele: True Encounters With Hawaii's Fire Goddess

In these stories from twenty-three contributors, Pele takes a variety of forms: a four-year-old sees a "lady in a crimson dress"; others see lights or simply feel a presence; drivers pick up hitchhikers - old women, young women - who mysteriously disappear. Pele announces a birth, commemorates a death, issue warnings, deliver blessings and curses. Is she a spirit, a legend or a reality? It's up to you to decide.
