"...an emotional powerhouse of a story." (Readers' Favorite review by K.C. Finn) Abandoned as a child. Half-Japanese, half-American. Ron Jackson is a self-made man of few words who has been through decades of hardship building up a successful bar business in Yokohama. As he finally gets ready to enjoy life in retirement, an unexpected meeting jolts his entire world. Ron decides to set out on a mission to make peace with his past, marked by ruthlessness, bitterness, and suppressed love. "Ron's journey of re-examining his life was an eye-opener. Even as the story delves into deep introspection, the narrative flowed like a serene stream of water. Every character evoked a sense of warmth in me." "At the end of the story, I was left with a deep sense of gratitude for my life's blessings." (Review by Soumya Sreehari for Readers' Favorite)
