What the judges said:

“I felt the abandoned house, the beauties of the island and the past glory of this family and the Hawaiian monarchy...You made me relax into that world even knowing that it’s all about to come apart. Well done.”

~*~

“I loved the setting! You evoked it beautifully, both the physical and historical aspects.”

~*~

“...a cross-ethnic romance in the midst of impending war, an old house, a theft—that I found enjoyable.”

~*~

“An old, historic Victorian house passed on from generation to generation—sounds like the perfect setting for intrigue and suspense.”
