ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu wau i kamaʻilio ai e pili ana i ka puke hoihoi na ka economist Leopoldo Abadía: ʻO nā kūpuna ma ke kaʻe o ka hoʻouka kaua moʻopuna. He puke e mālama me kēia i ka hoʻohālikelike o kāna kumu hope loa, ʻaʻohe mea ʻē aʻe o ka wehewehe ʻana i ke ʻano o ka makua kāne i kēia lā.
ʻO ka Humor kahi hoʻomaka maikaʻi a me ka leka maʻamau i kēia mau puke ʻelua. Akā ua koho ʻo Charo Izquierdo no ka moʻolelo fiction piha i kāna puke Kōkua, he kupuna wahine wau.
Ma muli o ka pili o ka waiwai maikaʻi o nā pēpē i kēia manawa me ke kuleana o nā kūpuna, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka lima, pono lākou e kau i hope me he mea lā he mau mākua ʻelua a ʻoi aku, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ua uku nā kahu ..., me ka uku ʻole.
I kēia mau mea āpau e pono e hoʻohui ʻia i ke kuleana kaulua e hiki ai i ka mālama ʻana i nā moʻopuna ke kū no ke kupunawahine. Pono ke keiki e maikaʻi, kūpono iā ia iho, akā i huhū ʻole ke kaikamahine inā loaʻa ke anuanu i ke kaikamahine a i ʻole ke kuʻi ʻia.
I ka hihia o ka protagonist o kēia puke, hoʻonui ʻia ka pilikia. ʻO ke kupunawahine ʻōpio, me ka hana a me ka ʻiʻini e hoʻomau i ka hauʻoli i ka naʻi aupuni o kona manawa kaʻawale. Me ke kanalua ʻole, pili ke aloha o ke kupunawahine i ke ʻano o ka makuahine, akā ke pau kou manawa hānai ʻana i nā keiki, ma ke ʻano he hiki i ka leka hoʻomaopopo o ka hiki hou mai o ka pēpē ke haki i kāu papahana.
ʻO kahi puke leʻaleʻa e pili ana i nā kupuna wahine mua akā me kahi kuanaʻike hou loa. Hālāwai mākou me kahi kupuna wahine ʻōpio, wahine me ka ʻole o ka hoa paʻa a me ka makemake nui e hauʻoli i kahi kūʻokoʻa i lanakila ma hope o nā makahiki a me nā makahiki e lele ana mai kahi kuleana a kekahi.
He mea hoʻomākeʻaka ma waena o kēlā kupunawahine hauʻoli me kona ola o kēia manawa a me ke kuleana hou āna e lawe ai.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i ka puke Kōkua, he kupuna wahine wau, ka puke hou na Charo Izquierdo, ma aneʻi:
