Discover the world of princes and princesses on a sugar plantation
in Hawai'i. An American family lives in a multicultural world in a
small agricultural town where just about every family knows each
other. They have similar values like middle America but they are
caught in a cross-section of cultures clashing, yet often times
melding. Read about the Yagyagan family's challenges and how one
son survives, goes on to college and uses a formula he created to
guide his and his children's lives - R2L3C2D3. "An amazing piece of
American literature, a true American story as well as Pacific
Islander. This story is warm and humorous as well as raw and
moving. Plantation Prince is a must read and is likely to be one of
your favorite books of the year." Jose Pereira ***** "Steve A.
Yagyagan's story, Plantation Prince, is about family life, family
relationships, the pain, the strength, and the lessons learned from
struggle. I read through half the book, and could not put the book
down. Yagyagan describes how his family lived and experienced life
from Hawai'i, stories and experiences that you don't often find,
see, or hear about in mainstream American society. If you enjoy
reading about diversity, dual cultures, and family up-and-down
experiences, Yagyagan's story brings you there " ***** Ronald
Buenaventura, Filipino American National Historical Society *****
"Even though the American society seems to be "melting"; Plantation
Prince shares personal experiences of an American guided by his
respective ethnicities. Steve Yagyagan's insights into his family
histories reflects the challenges and struggles of an individual's
search for identity. Thankfully, Steve has met that challenge and
continues to share this uplifting story of being Filipino and
Samoan in rural Hawaii. This book is a learning experience for
those who do not understand their individual history and an
entertaining journey of hope, love, and family " ***** "An example
of "Struggle to Victory" where the author's family lineage makes
the most of every opportunity given to us by God. Wonderful
thoughts of the author's "Lessons from Life" after experiencing
Pain, Sorrow, Love, and Happiness." ***** "Excellent book The
author's personal experiences brings life to his book. Amazing to
see the struggles he went though in life and still become a
successful person. It was also nice to read about places and people
I grew up with too Everyone will enjoy this book " "Definitely this
book is one of a kind, but at the same time the experiences and
events can be had in any part of America I love how this book takes
place in Hawaii....definitely a great read..once you start this
book you will not stop till the last page..I highly recommend it,
way to go Steve I loved the book and many others will: )" Vincent
