Daughters of Fire by Tom Peek, is a modern day adventure story set on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is a mix of myth, culture, romance, thriller, mystery, and ancient Hawaiian ritual.
Having lived for many years on the Big Island, I loved this book. Hawaii's volcano goddess Pele comes alive in these pages, and if you have been to the Big Island, then you know, she is an undeniable force. The modern culture clash between Hawaiians and developers played out here is a sad but true tale.
Tom Peek is a wonderful story teller. If you have ties to Hawaii you will really enjoy this book, and if not, it is a great page-turning read none-the-less.
