Description
Susan Ito's memoir is a deeply personal exploration of identity, family, and belonging. Growing up with adoptive parents who were Japanese American and white, Ito embarked on a journey to discover her birth mother and the truth about her origins.
The search for answers led to a complex relationship between Ito and her birth mother, who shares some physical characteristics but also harbours a desire for anonymity. As Ito grapples with her own reproductive choices and the legacy of the Japanese American incarceration experience during World War II, she seeks to understand what it means to be whole.
This memoir is a powerful account of love, identity, and the quest for connection - one that explores the tensions between secrecy and openness, and the search for belonging in a world where roots are often complicated.
