Barbara Edwards Nude
One of four daughters of a Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, Barbara Edwards had been obliged to toe the line while growing up. The family moved around a lot. She was born in New Mexico and has lived “in Virginia, the South, and California, but I really consider Hawaii my home. I spent the best years of my life there, all through junior high and high school. We never even studied American history, only about Hawaii and Tahiti and the Philippines. I didn’t even know who the Presidents were until we came to the mainland. I knew Lincoln and Washington and that’s it. But I could name all the kings and queens of Hawaii.”
