Got this from AnnieFG, from her school's book exchange.

'A man ahead of his time, Japanese college professor Masao Takashimaya of Kyoto had a passion for modern ideas that was as strong as his wife's belief ibn ancient traditions. It was the early 1920's and Masao had dreams for the future - and a fascination with the politics and opportunities of a world that was changing every day. Twenty years later, his eighteen-year-old daughter Hiroko, torn between her mother's traditions and her father's wishes, boarded the SS Nagoya Maru to come to California for an education and to make her father proud. It was August 1941.'

Passing this on to my sister, AnnMarie61, who enjoys Danielle Steel.
