Overview

Akela, THE KONA DOG, brings a smile to everyone she meets. She is sweet and caring to all those working and visiting the coffee plantation and pineapple grove.

To please her master, Akela makes her rounds on the plantation, assuring safety and offering encouragement with her gentle ways. When the plantation is threatened with closure by the banker man, Akela and her master's older son, Keoki, join forces to enlist the banker's daughter, Penny. Akela knows something makes the girl sad. If they get her to laugh and smile, perhaps they can save the plantation. But Penny isn't talking, and the plight of Akela's home doesn't look good either.

Faced with defeat and the loss of her home, Akela must use all of her bravery and instinctive abilities to bring everyone together. Can she soften their hearts in time to stop the banker man?

About the Author, Ruth G. Zavitsanos

I began writing at the age of 12. Growing up outside of New York City, I attended many Broadway plays and musicals that served to stimulate my imagination. While attaining my Journalism degree at Marshall University I received numerous writing awards. After graduation, I maintained my desire to write by editing and writing for corporate bulletins, preschool/elementary school newsletters and the local newspaper. As a stay at home mom, I am able to devote my mornings to writing, something that is now coming to fruition. My children’s book, THE VILLA DOG, has sold over 1,000 copies and is nominated for the Epic ebook award. My second and children’s books, THE OLD FORTRESS DOG and THE KONA DOG, are now available. My recently released first novel, a Western/Romance, FLIGHT OF LITTLE DOVE, is also available in both print and ebook form. Yes, my book shelf boasts three of my books (with THE KONA DOG joining it soon) and I’m beyond thrilled because of it! :)
