Goodbye Big City, Hello Big Island
Who would expect that a sister’s trip to Hawaii to celebrate retirement from the corporate rat race would turn out this way? A broken rib, friendly realtor and wine-soaked sunset all contributed to a life changing move.
It didn’t take long to learn that life in paradise is not all luaus and golfing. Feral pigs, nut picking, unique neighbors and a distinct Hawaiian bureaucracy, all contribute to the humor in this hilarious account of moving from the big city to the big island.
The author is a gifted storyteller, laid-back and funny with a penchant for witty observations. Her easy, frothy style feels a little like reading letters from a friend (a somewhat impulsive friend with a good sense of humor) and it’s easy to feel invested in her undertaking while being completely entertained. – Arizona Daily Star
