Dorinda has been published in numerous newspapers, writing general stories about Hawaii as well as her experiences during and after the Pearl Harbor attack. Recently, she was featured in a PEOPLE magazine article about Pearl Harbor survivors, and has been interviewed numerous times on radio and television, describing her WWII experiences.
She originated the concept for a woman's organizational calendar, which was published by Hallmark for many years. She also has written scripts for award-winning educational films about Hawaii. PEARL HARBOR CHILD is her first book.
In writing this book, my mission was to share my story with the children of America, most of whom have fortunately not experienced bombing attacks and strafing of their homes. But I did. As a young child, I stood in my front yard with my family, and watched the attack until the military made us leave the harbor and seek shelter further inland. We ended up in a sugar cane field in the hills above Pearl Harbor, where we watched the attack continue, with huge plumes of black smoke rising into the skies above the burning waters dotted with sinking and damaged ships of our crippled naval fleet.
It was an absolutely unforgettable spectacle, and the sights, sounds and smells of that day will always be with me.
