WHAT READERS ARE SAYING

  • ❝I loved the book, couldn't put it down. A true story of the struggles of a Japanese War bride who fell in love with an African-American soldier, that by far, describes the emotions, joys and pains, of moving to the USA and finding out that racism was alive and well in the southern states.❞

    READER REVIEW // Winter Always Turns to Spring A Memoir: My Triumphant Journey

  • ❝Home Is Where War Starts and Peace Begins is beautifully written and devastating in its portrayal of the many forms of abuse that far more children than most of us realize carry silently in their backgrounds. Yet this book is more than a memoir. It is a blueprint for transformation—not only for individuals seeking a light to guide them out of personal darkness, but also for a society in need of healing. The idea that the very traumas that wound us can become a springboard for deeper happiness is not new, but it is rendered here with both heartbreaking honesty and inspiring power. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.❞
