I’m super-excited to tell you about a new book that is on shelves TODAY!  You don’t want to miss this memoir–Where the Dead Pause and the Japanese Say Goodbye– by writer Marie Mockett who is hapa.  She has written a really touching story about coming to terms with loss after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami as she returns to Japan where her family’s Buddhist temple has suffered from the damaged nuclear reactor nearby.  It’s a wonderful book that you don’t want to miss.–Heidi Durrow
