86 reviews“Paired with artist Patricia Wakida’s haunting illustrations, the book’s rich, lyrical language evokes both cultural eloquence & California’s seasonal beauty. Poignant & reflective, Secret Harvests is a family saga of quiet endurance & bittersweet triumphs.” — Meg Nola, Foreword Reviews
I discover a "lost" aunt, separated from our
family due to racism & discrimination against the disabled. She had a mental disability due to childhood meningitis. She was taken away in 1942 when all Japanese Americans were considered the enemy & imprisoned. She then became a "ward" of the state.
We believed she had died, but 70 years later found her alive & living a few miles from our family farm. How did she survive? Why was she kept hidden? How did both shame & resilience empower my family to forge forward in a land that did not want them? I am haunted & driven to explore my identity & the meaning of family—especially as farmers tied to the land.
I uncover family secrets that bind us to a sense of history buried in the earth that we work & a sense of place that defines us.
