Book offers o new per spective on Queen Liliʻuokalani

Independent historian Riānna M. Williams offers a fascinating look at the personal life of Queen Lili'uokalani, the Dominis family she married into and the great house in whieh they made their home. While other histories focus on Queen Lili'uokalani's reign and the politics surrounding it, Williams' photo-filled book offers a glimpse into Lili'uokalani's personal life, including details about her marriage and her three hanai children, her finances and her cultural and

religious beliefs. The book also offers a detailed look at Washington Plaee, whieh was owned by the Dominis family and left to Lili'uokalani. It was where the Queen was arrested during the 1893 overthrow and later was the executive mansion for 12 of Hawai'i's governors. It became a museum in 2002 and was designated a Nahonal Historic Landmark in 2007. "Queen Lili'uokalani, the Dominis family, and Washington Plaee, theirhome" is published by Bess Press and is available for $29.95.
