DESCRIPTION:JAMsj will present another compelling book talk\, this time wit
 h author  Naomi Hirahara.  She will discuss her latest book\, Strawberry Y
 ellow\, on  May 4\, 2013\, at 1:00 p.m at the Japanese American Museum of 
 San Jose  (JAMsj).  This book is Naomi’s fifth book in her Edgar-winning
  detective  series.  This series features a curmudgeon of a Japanese-Ameri
 can  gardener and unwitting detective\, Mas Arai.  He is a memorable  prot
 agonist unlike any other:  a Hiroshima survivor\, gardener\, widower\,  ga
 mbler\, grandfather\, and solver of crimes. In Strawberry Yellow\, he  ret
 urns to the California strawberry farms of his youth and encounters  not o
 nly family intrigue but also danger and eventually murder.\n \n Hirahara  
 was born in Pasadena\, California. Her father Isamu (known as "Sam")\,  wa
 s also born in California\, but was taken to Hiroshima\, Japan\, as an  in
 fant. He was only miles away from the epicenter of the atomic bomb  blast 
 in 1945\, yet managed to survive. Naomi's mother Mayumi (known  as"May”)
  was born in Hiroshima and lost her father in the blast. Shortly  after th
 e end of World War II\, Sam returned to the Los Angeles and  eventually es
 tablished himself in the gardening and landscaping trade.\n \n For more de
