Enter a century-long journey of love and pain as an old log cabin
shares its memories in . . . Broken Soul. Meet Aca Wayne Duran III
as he narrates the many-faceted stories of the house he calls home.
An elderly man who thought he might be crazy as the visions were
revealed to him through vapors and smoke. From beginning to ending,
the stories within will captivate you while you struggle with the
realization of human impact upon a wooden structure. Is it just
condensation on the walls, or the normal "cracks, pops, and pings"
of a house settling? You be the judge as you read about murder,
love, lust, kidnapping, torture, and more. Each vision shared has
been painfully recorded by both the house and the writer. While
some tales are softer than others, they all relate to the cause of
the. . . Broken Soul.

A child is dying. Her life depends on an explosive secret her
grandmother has kept from their Ohana (family). As Mary Han
wrestles with the toxic revelations, she must finally face the past
she fought so hard to forget. The Ohana is a riveting retrospective
of the social, political, and economic history of Hawaii told
through a historical family saga spanning three unforgettable
generations. From the young Korean, Han Chaul Roong, who murders
the hated Japanese invaders who kidnap his sister and force her
into prostitution, to the Japanese aristocrat Kazuko who abandons
her life of wealth and privilege to live in poverty with the
servant she loves, the Asians came to work the brutal cane fields
of Hawaii under Patrick O'Malley, a refugee from the Irish famine
who sailed on a coffin ship to the gang-infested streets of Boston
and ended up in Hawaii after the bloody Civil War. The immigrants
meet in the sugar cane fields of Kohala, Hawaii where a savage,
unthinkable crime and a failed strike draw the three families
together in an uneasy alliance. Sean Duffy, Patrick's nephew,
climbs out of Boston's slums to the top of Hawaiian society by way
of a loveless marriage to the sister of the woman he loves.
Kazuko's beautiful daughter Mariko lives as a social outcaste in
the whorehouses of Honolulu. Chaul Roong's son, George Han, the
ruthless mob boss of the first Korean syndicate, builds an empire
while hiding his love for his brother's wife. The colliding worlds
of the immigrants and their American-born children and
grandchildren come to a head when an entire generation protests the
Vietnam war and revolt against traditional values. Now the families
must put aside their lifetime prejudices and grudges to save a
young girl. Will their Ohanas survive the startling truth behind
the lies? "A telling saga involving Hawaii's multi-ethnic, Asian
families. Intimate look at the people of the islands imbued with
authentic insights of events and stories that need to be told." Dr.
Dennis Ogawa American Studies Professor, University of Hawaii,
Author Pres. & CEO of Nippon Golden Network
