THE WOMAN IN THE WHITE KIMONO
Oceans and decades apart, two women are inextricably bound by the secrets between them.
Japan, 1957. Seventeen-year-old Naoko Nakamura's prearranged marriage to the son of her father's business associate secures her family's status in their traditional Japanese community, but Naoko has fallen for another man, an American sailor. When it's learned Naoko carries the sailor's child, she's cast out in disgrace and forced to make unimaginable choices with consequences that will ripple across generations.
America, present day. Tori Kovac, caring for her dying father, finds a letter containing a shocking revelation that calls into question everything she understood about him, her family, and herself. Setting out to learn the truth behind the letter, Tori's journey leads her half-way around the world to a remote sea-side village in Japan, where she must confront the demons of the past to pave a way for redemption.
A poignant, sweeping novel of spirit and love that travels the difficult road to acceptance through secrets, sacrifice, and both women, past and present, confront social stigmas, secret burial grounds, exiled communities, and the gut-wrenching consequences of their own choices.
The author is using the pen-name "Ana Johns" she's published a couple of romantic comedies, which were translated in 11 languages. Born and raised in Detroit, this is her first historical fiction..
