Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Lion in the Lei Shop is a rediscovered treasure of a book that I cannot recommend highly enough. Written with insight, restraint, and flashes of humor, the story of April and Marty is the story of mothers and daughters, friendship, war, love, loss, the reliability of memory and the triumph of the human spirit. I could not put it down. - Helen Bryan, bestselling author of War Brides A dramatic chapter of American history comes vividly to life in this evocative tale of a mother and daughter navigating the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. On a beautiful December day, young Marty Langsmith's life explodes into flames. Evacuated with her mother, April, to the mainland, Marty's new world is haunted by nightmares of the lion in the lei shop, a creature fabricated by a neighbor that's said to devour happy children. Meanwhile April, powerless to shield her daughter from the devastation of the Japanese attack and the painful uncertainty of life without her deployed army father, is caught between her own longing for the past and her hope for the future. Spanning the tumultuous war years, The Lion in the Lei Shop is a poignant, illuminating tale of two women bound by love and sorrow, twin sentinels mourning the loss of a nation's innocence and struggling to build a new life without the father and husband they fear may never return.

"A fond and funny chronicle of life as an Army brat in those almost incredible years between two world wars." Actually, Army brats x 3, as the primary characters in this semi-autobiographical novel are the narrator, Carol, and her two siblings: "Accident-prone Allen and poetry-writing Carol and precocious Sarah had a childhood that was in many ways highly unusual, but it was also generally happy and characteristically American." The author's subsequent (and only other) novel, "The Lion in the Lei Shop," published in 1970, was about the experiences of a young mother and her daughter during World War II, beginning in Hawaii with the attack on Pearl Harbor.
