Kiyo’s father arrived in California determined to plant his roots in the land of opportunity after leaving Japan. He, his wife, and their nine American-born children labored in the fields together, building a successful farm.

Praise

“Vividly honest, deeply moving.”—Bill Hosokawa, Out of the Frying Pan: Reflections of a Japanese American

“Kiyo’s Story is unforgettable.”—Sacramento News & Review

“Touching . . . an important portrait of a shameful period in American history.”—Kirkus Reviews
