Sometimes the journey that changes your life begins when you believe the best of it is always behind you. At fifty-one, American widow Lillian Takahashi travels to the quiet Japanese town of Miyamanchi Ono, expecting little more than a change of scenery and a chance to escape the loneliness that has settled over her life. Instead, she finds the Namakemono Inn, a young girl named Aiko, and Hurato, a man whose life has been shaped by love, loss, and family. Lillian is slowly drawn into the Inn's rhythms and the people around it, What began as a simple journey becomes something she never expected. Sakura is a tender story of second chances, unexpected family, and the discovery that love can arrive at any age, sometmes in a place you'd never imagine calling home.
