Short description

Take Next Boat is a memoir of love in paradise containing personal photos of early Hawaii and private letters describing every aspect of life in the islands from 1936 to 1945.

Extended description

By 1936 the Islands of Hawaii had been a Territory of the United States for a scant 36 years. The sands that circled them were white and black and brown and covered with seashells; the few people that inhabited them had come by boat from distant parts of the world; the Pacific Ocean that surrounded them was 16 shades of blue; the tangled jungle of fruits and flowers that grew so easily scented the air — and all Maria wanted to do was to get there! Where Larry was.

Take Next Boat. Get Married. Not Coming Back. Love Larry is an enduring love story told in the words of a young woman who joined the man she loved in Hawaii and found a locale she fell in love with as well. Maria's letters are full of joy and youthful enthusiasm interlaced with a running commentary on life in Honolulu before and during the war. The personal letters are skillfully woven together with commentary and photos into a effervescent little book that will transport you for a few hours into Maria Moss' "island paradise".

Great book! So nice to remember the days when letter writing was popular. I really enjoyed reading the letters and am so glad the letters were preserved. Thanks, Marilyn, for sharing them with us as well as the photos. It is a truly delightful love story.
