Based on the True Story of Hicks Homes and the Man Who Helped Shape Hawaii’s Middle Class At age 10, Harold Hicks was supporting his family by hustling on the inner-city streets of Los Angeles. By the time he arrived in Hawaii at age 34, he was a respected building contractor who went on to found Hicks Homes, bringing affordable housing to the Islands with more than 20,000 homes for working families. His pursuit of the American Dream persevered despite the mental health issues in his own family life—caring for a wife who was in turn irrational, seductive, unpredictable, and even prone to parading naked in public.

The House That Hicks Built is a novelization of Harold Hicks’s real rags-to-riches story, as witnessed and told by his daughter, Sharon—the story of the self-made man who was named Hawaii’s Most Influential Contractor. “If you haven’t lived in a Hicks Home,” the saying went, “you haven’t lived in Hawaii!” Sharon L. Hicks is a retired executive living in Honolulu, Hawaii, who dedicated her 45-year career to nonprofit organizations and to Hicks Homes, the company founded by her father. Her first book— the memoir How Do You Grab a Naked Lady?—was a winner of the Southern California Writers’ Conference Outstanding Non-Fiction Award and consistently earns Amazon 5-Star reviews and motion picture interest from Hollywood.
