The East Hawai‘i Community Players need a smash hit to save Hilo’s historic Palace Theater from the ravages of time, tropical weather, the ailing economy, a menacing network of drug dealers—and themselves from all manner of folly and heartbreak. The Wizard of Oz will be a sure thing. Or will it? Susan Wackerbarth tells this wry, playful story through an unlikely constellation of misfits, both “grown” and “flown,” trying to find their way on the Big Island. Quirky, bittersweet, and suspenseful, this novel explores each person’s longing for a home of the heart, and climaxes in an opening night no one will forget. Susan’s Work Inspires Excerpt from the recent UH Hilo Stories article about Susan’s new novel: “It can sometimes be unusual to picture an educator outside their position in the classroom. Students see their instructors as vessels of knowledge for wisdom and inspiration. But where does this wisdom and inspiration come from? And what do you do with it once you have it? To answer these questions, one can look to the life and career of Susan Wackerbarth, instructor of English and creative writing coordinator at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo. Her journey to publishing her first novel, No Place Like Home, reflects the long and winding road that travels between her experience as a writer, editor, and educator.” Read the Full Article at UH Hilo Stories https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ecd80f32d1b9b60687d2333/t/5f9f46b3e9a0e4631a17c198/1605813927784/NPLH+Big+Island+Book+Buyers.jpg Home Big Island Book Buyers | Hilo, HI https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ecd80f32d1b9b60687d2333/t/5fb6c9212fa63554eb997244/1605814590547/NPLH+Book+Display.JPG Home https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ecd80f32d1b9b60687d2333/t/5f9f4704a48e4130fe0e6672/1605813933757/NPLH+Kona+Stories.jpg Home Kona Stories | Kailua-Kona, HI https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ecd80f32d1b9b60687d2333/t/5f9f46621e3be610d636cef7/1605813923609/NPLH+Basically+Books.JPG Home Basically Books | Hilo, HI
