Dear Reader,

Those of you who have read my novels MOLOKA'I and HONOLULU — both national bestsellers and reading group favorites — know that they tell the history behind the history. PALISADES PARK tells the story of this renowned amusement park as seen by young Toni Stopka, daughter of concessionaries, who dreams of becoming a daredevil high diver. Performers, pitchmen, the civil rights demonstrators picketing the gates, the underworld bosses meeting in secret across the street...all are entwined in a story told "in Ragtime style, mixing fact and fiction. It's a memorable trip." (People magazine)
