DESCRIPTION:<strong><span style="color: #c21313\;">FREE\n</strong>\n<em>"Po
 ignant. How the power of an untold secret can affect how one lives and\, w
 ith its revelation\, can spark others to tell their own. With a good story
 \, we can change ourselves\, our country\, our world for the better. Setsu
 ko's Secret is one of the good stories." -- Tamlyn Tomita</em>\n<em></em>\
 n<em>Setsuko&rsquo\;s Secret: Heart Mountain and the Legacy of the Japanes
 e American Incarceration</em>&nbsp\;by Shirley Ann Higuchi blends personal
  and political histories into a powerful and inspirational narrative. Join
  author Shirley Ann Higuchi in a conversation and Q&amp\;A with actress Ta
 mlyn Tomita\, moderated by filmmaker and news anchor David Ono.\n\nAs chil
 dren\, Shirley Ann Higuchi and her brothers knew Heart Mountain only as th
 e place their parents met. As they grew older\, they would come to recogni
 ze the name as a source of great sadness and shame for the generation of J
 apanese Americans forced into the hastily built concentration camp during 
 WWII. Only after a serious cancer diagnosis did Shirley&rsquo\;s mother\, 
 Setsuko\, share her vision for a museum at the site of the former camp\, w
 here she had been donating funds and volunteering in secret for many years
 . After Setsuko&rsquo\;s death\, Shirley skeptically accepted an invitatio
 n to visit the site\, a journey that would forever change her life and int
 roduce her to a part of her mother she never knew.\n\nNavigating the compl
 icated terrain of the Japanese American experience\, Shirley patched toget
 her Setsuko&rsquo\;s story and came to understand the forces and generatio
 nal trauma that shaped her own life. Moving seamlessly between family and 
 communal history\, Setsuko&rsquo\;s Secret offers a clear window into the 
 &ldquo\;camp life&rdquo\; that was rarely revealed to the children of the 
 incarcerated. This volume powerfully insists that we reckon with the pain 
 in our collective American past.\n\nShop the JANM store!\n\n<a href="https
