About this ebook

Aloha! Welcome to the Maui Island Series where the dramas of everyday life keep the Briscoe family and their friends laughing, crying and falling in love.

Set against the lush backdrop of a tropical island, Under the Maui Sky captures the emotionally charged, complex dynamics that come with being part of a family. Readers will laugh and shed a few tears as Ava Briscoe and her children discover what it means to be loved, supported and accepted by the people who mean the most…even in the face of deep betrayal.

Ava Briscoe wants nothing more than for her children and the family’s pineapple business to flourish. When a dark secret comes to light, more than her steadfast resilience is tested.

Christel is picking up the pieces after a painful divorce. She’s found solace in the family business. But a bitter discovery soon shakes the once-steady foundation under her feet.

Katie is a wife and mother with a full plate. She yearns for purpose but her efforts to make her dreams come true falter when she learns nothing is at it seems.

Aiden makes his living rescuing people on the island of Maui. When facing life’s changes, can he rescue his own family when it matters most?

Shane believes life is a party, but sometimes life hands out more than a good time—fun crashes to an end and growing up is no longer an option.

Come along on the journey . . . with all the messy wonder, humor, pain and ultimate hope of this heartwarming family as they grapple with an uncertain future and learn they can face anything, as long as they do it together.

A heart-grabbing story, perfect for Robyn Carr and Susan Wiggs fans.

Ratings and reviews

Lots of nice description. A bit short on plot. Characters spent a lot of time ruminating, but little happened. The author has a natural way with dialogue, though.

i really got caught up in this book and with characters

Excellent as always!!!!
