Dorinda Nicholson debuted in hula at age three dancing with her mother in Waikiki. When she was six years old, she and her father watched from their front yard as Japanese torpedo bombers flew so low over their house, she could see the pilots’ goggles.
Nicholson’s first book, Pearl Harbor Child, tells the story of the bombing of Pearl Harbor through the eyes of a child. An award-winning author, she believes it is her mission to write World War II stories for both students and adults to bring history to life.
Her day job to support her writing was as a Marriage and Family Therapist. Now retired, she tries to live within her means and travel beyond them.
Nicholson has been featured in People Magazine, NBC News, and most recently, was interviewed on the CBS Sunday Morning News Show sharing her story of the bombing of Pearl Harbor through the eyes of a child.
She is also a disaster mental health volunteer for the American Red Cross working mostly Yellow Ribbon Events for veterans being deployed or recently returned home.
Nicholson says she is the mother of 4 boys, and grandmother to 13 grandchildren and would love to be in a cage in a dive to see sharks up close.
