THE DESCENDANTS BY KAUI HART HEMMINGS

This was a very good story with very good descriptions of scenery and characterizations.


I listened to it as an audio book for the FIRST time and it was wonderful!!!  


It was an interesting characterization of a family in crisis.  There was Matthew King who was torn between selling property with his cousins.  This was property that went back generations to a founding Hawaiian Princess and the white man she married.  The children included 10 year old Scottie, who was a smart ass and 17 year old Alex, a former model and recovering drug addict.   Matt's thrill seeking and high maintenance wife, Joanie, had an affair with a man named Brian Spears and now is lying in a coma after a boating accident.  She will soon be taken off life support.


The interaction of the characters was fascinating.
