When Hana meets Taro, he is not the handsome, prosperous shopkeeper she was led to expect. Yet this disappointment is only the first of many Hana must face: rejection by a hostile white society; thwarted love for another man; demeaning employment as a domestic servant; and the greatest loss of all, alienation from her daughter, Mary, who, like so many children of Japanese immigrant parents, feels ashamed of her cultural heritage and forsakes it in an attempt to assimilate herself into American schooling and society. 650 0 $a Japanese American women $x Fiction. 650 0 $a Japanese Americans $x Fiction. 651 0 $a California $x Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd. 941 $a 1 952 $l 44SX715 $d 20170615012316.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6989B608519111E7BA7D907DDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
