The narrative explores the experiences of over twelve thousand Japanese immigrants who settled in the interior West, including states like Arizona and Colorado, well before World War II. These individuals sought new opportunities as laborers or traveled as picture brides to join husbands they had never met, highlighting their resilience and the rich cultural contributions they made to their new communities. The book sheds light on a lesser-known chapter of Japanese American history, emphasizing their journey and integration into American society.
