Description

"Here is a faithful portrayal of the early second-generation Japanese in Hawaii. Its portrayal, intentionally or otherwise, draws similarities to all new arrivals in America, with their struggles and their successes, their pain and their happiness. Saiki has made this account, however, a distinctly unique one through her Sachie, as this young teenager comes to terms in her acceptance and her rationalization of her own American training and her parents' adherence to the customs of Japan. Everyday customs are delightfully charming..."--From about the book.
