When I was very young and began to wonder about the world, I tried to answer the question, “Who are you?” My early answer was, “I am a child of God.” When asked my name, I stated factually, “Barrow.” I knew that’s where I came from, the house I lived in and that’s who I belonged to. I did not answer, Shirley. That name did not seem to belong to anyone else, but a stranger who did not accept my Sunday School answer, would know who I was if I answered Barrow. My family was right there with me: living proof of my identity.

Using recent deep legal and historical research done by Hawaiian scholars, Liberate Hawai’i! refutes, with significant implications, the 1898 U.S. claim to have “annexed” Hawai’i with subsequent authority later to convert that country to a U.S. “state” in 1959.

Summoned contains the stories of six famous women from history, each on a spiritual path. I have selected specific women who, through their positive vision, significantly altered their society. Each woman tells her story from first person point of view as I imagined it. For each of these women there was a turning point, a fork in the road, when they were summoned by a power greater than themselves to take steps that changed the conventional course of their lives and altered society.
