Book Synopsis
Going from the jungles of the wartime Philippines to the schoolyards of northwestern Oklahoma is no easy transition. For one twelve-year-old girl, it meant distance not only across the globe but also within her own family.

Trade Review
“An extraordinary story of an interracial family and of unsung victims of war. Rich in metaphor and description, the book is a building block in constructing the true identity of Oklahoma and the nation as a profoundly multiethnic society.”—Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, author of Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie “Narrated by a gifted storyteller, this memoir shows that what has been lost cannot be regained, but it can be understood and illuminated. Reflecting an unusual mixture of cultures, A Letter to My Father is an archetypal American story.”—Pat Harrison, editor of Radcliffe Quarterly
