Overview
This classic memoir tells the story of a remarkable Asian-American woman navigating two very different cultures—a loyal wife, a widowed mother, and a bilingual breadwinner—who finds her voice in a strange new world.
Follow her journey as she:
- Witnesses her father prepare and perform ritual seppuku, and her mother burn down the ancestral home
- Bids an emotional farewell and sails across the ocean to marry a wealthy merchant in a new land
- Returns to Tokyo with her two daughters and mother-in-law, only to find her homeland as alien as America, forcing her to reinvent herself to provide for her family
- Eventually returns to America with her children after the death of her mother-in-law
