<p>Staying away from the usual politics, Queen Liliuokalani, the Dominis family, and Washington Place, their home, starts with the personal story of Queen Liliuokalani, tells of her husband and his family, and finishes with the story of a great house that has always been an important social and political hub. There is much new information about the Queen- such as bio's of her three hanai children, her own comments about her husband and their marriage, her late life almost-romance, her always precarious financial situation, her ability to mix Hawaiian and western cultural and religious beliefs, her kindness and caring along side her unpleasant comments about people.</p>

A history of a cathedral invites interest due to its generally dramatic architecture and the pomp and circumstance surrounding the seat of a bishop. However, add to the above the location of the cathedral on the Pacific ocean, the sponsorship of a King and Queen, several reigning monarchs as members, the involvement of well-known island families, English nuns coming from across the world to found a school for Hawaiian girls, a wealthy and fiesty founding member engaged in public arguments with two bishops, bells from the 15th century, undoubtedly the only cathedral to have stained glass honoring an insect and you have St. Andrew's Cathedral.
