Hannah Lindsey Brown's father was killed by his doctors . . . and they knew that she knew why. Hannah Lindsay Brown, the once adventure icon, would face a new, impenetrable challenge. Traumatized, stonewalled, locked out of a system that pretends to be accessible, she had to find a way to pick up the pieces and move on. The adventure icon would become the indigent traveler trying to make sense of the new desensitized version of American culture. Looking for closure, she crisscrossed America in her "Lucie", sailed to Alaska on a perilous voyage onboard a derelict commercial fishing boat with an all male crew that never wanted her there, and then found herself in a secret spot, "hidden in plain sight" in the Hawaiian archipelago. There would be no peace, no reckoning . . . until she found herself under the giant Mimosa with the mango tree lover.



This second edition brings back the Hannah Lindsay Brown character, in alignment with the original memoir. You can get a multimedia version of this exact same story in my "When Pigs and Horses Fly."



(Note to reader: If you've visited Hawaii, you likely never saw the magical secret places that are hidden there in plain sight . . . just a heartbeat away. And if you've never been to Hawaii, "Under the Giant Mimosa" will give you a glimpse of what lies just beyond the sideshow on the other side of paradise.)
