As a child, she enjoyed the island life. Long summer days spent at the beach, playing with the neighborhood kids, and exploring in her garden.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There was one particular tree from her childhood home that was a habitat for Anoles. Her children also grew a fondness and curiosity for discovering critters. Especially, &#8220;Anole watching&#8221; from their garden in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">From the first scribbles of pencil on paper to embracing the completed manuscript, this book was a bittersweet project. In between writing the pages was an enduring journey alongside family and friends for their beloved Troy and Morganne.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Availability:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Book Name: <\/strong>Under the Koa Tree<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Author Name: <\/strong>L.
