Robinson Family Governess Letters from Kauaʻi and Niʻihau 1911-1913

Judith Marion Burtner

Softcover, 303 pp.

In 1911, 22 year old Hettie Belle Matthew takes a daring leap into the unknown as she sails away from her cosmopolitan life in the bustling Bay Area for the remote Hawaiian Islands to work as a Governess for the prominent and wealthy Robinson Family. Letters discovered by her granddaughter over a century later are painstakingly woven together to bring this true story to life with rare insight and authenticity.
