Customer Reviews

Excellent insights on growing up Japanese-American

If you grew up in a Japanese-American family, Ms. Adler's content will sound familiar. A lot of insight is provided on the dynamics of life in a Japanese-American family and some of the ethnic roots of those dynamics. Cultural explanations are provided for behaviors I thought "just ran in my family." The book is useful for anyone who deals with Japanese-Americans and wants to understand some of the motivations for their behaviors.
