Description
In 1917, young Hana Omiya arrives in San Francisco as a “picture bride,” carrying only a photograph of the Japanese immigrant she is expected to marry and hopes for a new life in America. As Hana and those around her build families, businesses, and farms, they confront cultural dislocation, prejudice, and the difficult pursuit of belonging. Their lives are irrevocably altered when World War II brings the forced removal and incarceration of Japanese Americans on the West Coast. Spanning decades, this moving historical novel explores resilience, community, identity, and the enduring strength required to survive injustice.
