"Aloha Rose"
Lisa Carter

Laney Carrigan is trying to find her birth family.  She arrives in Hawaii expecting to meet her mother, but is told she is dead.  She instead meets her grandmother who is in the early stages of Alzheimer's.  The grandmother believes her daughter is still alive so which is correct?  There is also a good-looking Hawaiian cowboy involved.  

Does Laney find the peace and love she is searching for?

*********************************************************
This book was confusing at first, especially when the Hawaiian vocabulary was sometimes not fully explained.  Things did pick up and become interesting later one.
