A Garden in Winter

By Michael Conant

Robert's father abandoned him as a child. Now all grown up, and a married man and father himself, he lands his first, big job in New York City as a journalist. His initial assignment takes him to upstate New York, to write a human-interest story about a 90-year-old Japanese American man named Hiroshi, on the anniversary of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. At first, the story appears to be tiresome and frivolous. However, Hiroshi's flashbacks to his time in California in 1941, where he and his family were swept up in the Japanese internment camps relocation efforts, eventually captivate the young reporter. As the two men's relationship grows, Robert will unknowingly discover a connection between America's troublesome history and his own painful past.
