Summary:
In the early 1900's a young Japanese woman, leaving behind an unhappy past, goes to Hawaii as a mail order bride to marry a man she knows only through a photograph. Although she is disappointed when he turns out to be older than his picture indicated, she finds that life in this new land is more exciting and satisfying than she expected.
