Broken Trust: Greed, Mismanagement & Political Manipulation at America’s Largest Charitable Trust by Samuel P. King & Randall W. Roth

Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop was the largest landowner and richest woman in the Hawaiian kingdom. Upon her death in 1884, she entrusted her property–known as Bishop Estate–to five trustees in order to create and maintain an institution that would benefit the children of Hawai‘i: Kamehameha Schools. This is the story of how that trust was broken by the people entrusted to protect and preserve it.

The Waianae Public Library Book Club reads a variety of fiction and nonfiction titles selected yearly by the members. In 2023 we will be adding another book club meeting. We will host 2 book clubs, one on Zoom on the 3rd Wednesday and our in-person meeting on the 4th Wednesday.  You are welcome to attend either meeting, or if you love the book, come to both!

Meet: 4TH Wednesdays in-person at the library

Time: 6:00 pm-7:30 pm
