Synopsis: | Many of us are familiar with the life of Robert Louis Stevenson, the author of such widely acclaimed novels as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Treasure Island and Kidnapped. Few, however, are aware of the life of his wife, Fanny Osbourne, and her daughter Belle-a true story that reads like an adventure novel in its own right. Free-spirited, strong-willed and courageous at a time when these character traits were not common (or particularly welcome) in American women, Fanny and her daughter traveled independently from Indiana to San Francisco, France, Hawai'i, Australia and Samoa. Using poetic language, weaving episodes through time and space and employing a cast of characters playing multiple roles, playwright Kneubuhl transforms a fascinating biography into a mesmerizing theatrical experience. | |||||

Kawehi discovers Hawaiian bones at a German museum that call out to her, so she takes them back to Hawaii. She is pursued by Gustav, who hires Fatu and Mina, private investigators, to help him locate and retrieve the bones. When Pua, Kawehi's former boss, finds out about the bones, she wants them too, but what is her motive? But the bones seem to have a life and purpose of their own, guiding Kawehi to help achieve this goal.
