{"product_id":"mauka-don-mitchell-9798990054394","title":"Mauka: A Novel of Hawai'i","description":"\u003cp\u003eMauka (Hawaiian for \"to the mountain\") is a novel about the things we bury to keep going, and what it costs to finally set them down. It explores what happens when June Nakashima and Max Nelson, two old friends separated for sixty years by thousands of miles, reconnect in Hilo, Hawai'i. It's about the long tail of violence: how a sexual assault kept silent reshapes a personality, and how a death kept secret reshapes another. It's also a love in old age story that takes seriously the bodies, the histories, the diminishments, and the unexpected discoveries, as two old loners join in running, hiking, being sexual and writing about it all. The dormant volcano Mauna Kea, on whose high barrens and forested lower slopes much of the novel is set, offers a kind of scale for measuring human connection-and wrongdoing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Don Mitchell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798990054394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Saddle Road Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/04\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlueInk Review\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/11\/2026","brand":"Don Mitchell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49174542287103,"sku":"9798990054394","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mauka-don-mitchell-9798990054394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
