Burl Burlingame of the Star Bulletin reviews Lisa Linn Kanae’s new book, "Islands Linked by Ocean."

Here’s an excerpt:

Lisa Linn Kanae didn’t realize how close to home her stories were in Bamboo Ridge’s "Islands Linked by Ocean" until she began collecting them. "Most take place at home — Diamond Head, Waikiki, Kapahulu and Kaimuki, so, yeah, home informs my writing," she said. "Home, family, friends. All of the stories are fiction with the exception of the title story, a true story about my father. Like many writers, a lot of the fiction I write is informed by personal experiences — snippets of real life embellished by my imagination."
