"One Cup Rice"
Written by Hazel Kazuko Arii Ho, A Plus Publishing. $16.95
This book is a selection of life stories from one woman's journey. The stories run the gamut of emotions - from childhood delights to senior dilemmas - that reflect the frailties of the human condition and the strengths of the human spirit. Hazel Kazuko Arii Ho's love of writing began at age eight when she published a book of poetry.
