Description

In her 38th best-selling novel, Danielle Steel creates a strong, moving manifestation of people split, lives broken and a country torn apart by prejudice throughout a shameful event in recent American history. A guy in front of his time, Japanese university professor Masao Takashimaya of Kyoto had a passion for modern ideas which was as powerful as his partner's belief in historical cultures. It was the first 1920s and Masao had desires for your future—and a fascination with all the possibilities and politics of the world that was changing every single day. Two decades afterwards, his eighteen-year-old daughter Hiroko, divided between her father's desires and her mom's customs, boarded the SS Nagoya Maru to come quickly to California for an education and to create her father happy.
