English Summary/英文概要: “I was born for adventure. I flout convention. I am a New Woman on a holy purpose.” Newlywed Emily Stone and her husband, Isaac, are young missionaries who have traveled from New England to Honolulu to share the Gospel with the Hawaiian natives. Gentle, adventurous, well-bred, and beautiful, Emily soon finds herself struggling with intense homesickness but remains determined to share her faith . . . and ignore her growing feelings for handsome Captain MacKenzie Farrow. As unexpected tragedies threaten to force her off the island, Emily must make a decision that could destroy everything she knows and loves—including her own sanity. With richly imagined characters and spellbinding scenery, Rainbows on the Moon is a masterful depiction of the beauty of human emotion.
