Patricia O'Rorke discovered the North Shore of Oahu when she met and married Ted Asmus, who grew up there. For more than 20 years, she has explored the beaches, mountains, trails, towns, tourist attractions, restaurants, shops, history, and culture of northern Oahu. An accomplished attorney and writer, she set out to rectify the lack of a useful guide to the best part of the island, her favorite place in the world. Now retired, she divides her time between Kuilima and Miami.
