The Month of May's theme was Mother's and Memorial Day

Share your review with us here on the blog.
This is a story about a wife and a mother who sets out on a journey to learn more about history and her own family’s heritage, and ultimately learns more about herself and her own abilities. Even though Rahna is a successful author, she had never been on her own or taken on anything as challenging or life-changing as leaving her family and travelling to Japan for six months. She has challenges fitting in and finding people in Japan who want to share their stories with her, or the stories seem to lack an emotional connection and just sound like rehearsed facts. Her marriage starts to fall apart during her absence, and she struggles with her role as wife and mother. Then, 9/11 happened and changed everything. The fear for her family’s safety and reality of how life can change in an instant repairs the damage to her marriage.
