Kaui Hart Hemmings is the author of the short story collection House of Thieves where the stories all take place in upper middle class families in Hawaii. The stories in House of Thieves are told from varied points of view--a father, a child, a young woman, an adolescent boy, and more. Some of the stories use very simple jumping off points such as a single mother's discovery of a pornographic magazine in her 13 year old son's room, a white man who is abandoned by his wife to take care of their daughter...
Woah now, did she say Kali was the goddess of the volcano in Hawaii? If I am not mistaken, and I am not, Kali is from Hindu mythology, and the Goddess of fire in the Hawaiian Islands is Pele, popular for appearing in the fresh flowing lava.
