The listing, Thunder Over The Reefs: Paula Minton: 1967 has ended.

this story is about the love between
two people and their child and after the parents have died,the love is still there. to explain this in a
simple way, phillip mason (a teacher) from chicago moved to hawaii and met the lovely native girl,milliama.
they fell in love and married. they had one daughter,aukele(later called audrey). phillip died during the
bombing of pearl harbor and several years after that,milliama was stabbed to death. what the parents left to
aukele was a beautiful home,love,and pride of who aukele was. aukele lived with her maternal aunt and then
around seven years old was forced to live with her father's cousin,dave mason in california. dave and his wife,
margery were not cruel to aukele(at this point, they insisted she call herself-audrey)but,had no nice opinion
of the "savage natives" of hawaii. audrey never really fit in with the masons but,she did survive with her
spirit intact. much of the latter half of the book is dave trying to find out where(?) is the deed to the home
in hawaii that was left to audrey. after twenty years,the property was worth a pretty penny but,to audrey,it
was her home that her parents loved and built. uncle dave gets very desperate and creates a deceptive plan
to cheat audrey out of what is rightfully hers but,in the end,he is caught. true to form,audrey does not
try to press charges against dave(and his mean spirited daughter,beatrice). at the end,audrey is happy and living
life.
