Picture Bride: an author presentation & book signing

September 9, 4:00pm - 6:00pm
Kapiʻolani Campus, Lama Library

On behalf of Interim Chancellor Louise Pagotto, please join us for Picture Bride: an author presentation & book signing on Wed. Sept. 7 at 4pm at the KCC Lama Library, by Kapi‘olani CC Donor and Ambassador, Mike Malaghan.

Debut novelist Mike Malaghan has turned his passion for history into the sweeping epic Picture Bride, newly released by Legacy Isle Publishing. Malaghan’s gripping 500-page saga follows Haru, a young peasant girl in turn-of-the-century Japan, from the temples of Kyushu to the sugar plantations of Territorial Hawai‘i. Betrayed by her best friend, she seeks refuge in an arranged marriage to a Buddhist priest in the far-off Hawaiian Islands, only to find herself with a husband who doesn’t want her, living among a white population distrustful of Japanese immigrants.
