It's interesting too that the main characters are all men, another unusual twist for the CBA.

I'd love to read this story. It was a terrible time in our histories, and I have a soft spot for Japan, her citizens and Japanese-Americans. Debra E.

I interviewed some missionaries in Japan some years ago for a magazine article, so I knew there were very few Christians in the country. I didn't realize the number was so low for Americans with Japanese ancestry, however.<br /><br />I can't imagine writing with my husband. He'd be C.J.

Truly a book worth reading.<br /><br />I laughed when you wrote about writing with your spouse not being for the faint-hearted.
