Bronze medal finalist in the 2007 IPPY awards in the category of Best?Visionary Fiction."Kat Romero, a California high school vice-principal, suddenly discovers she is a descendant of the ancient Hawaiian kahuna-experts in the secret tradition of Huna, able to walk safely on hot lava, heal broken bones instantly, and even pray an enemy to death. When a renegade kahuna in Maui targets Kat as his foremost enemy, she uses her newfound powers to protect herself, her students, and her family from the deadly magic sent her way.""This well-written debut novel not only brings to light the secrets of Huna, but helps readers to perhaps find illumination for their own lives."?--Catherine Lanigan, author of Divine Nudges: Tales of Angelic Intervention
