To America - With Profound Gratitude: My journey to freedom and independence

By Reiko McKendry

Born in post-World-War-II Japan, Reiko grew up in a family environment where her father was abusive toward her mother. Around the age of 15, to escape from the misery of constant violence, Reiko knew that her choice had to be either death or life in freedom. This is a remarkable story of her journey to freedom and independence in the country of her childhood dreams, the United States of America. This book gives a glimpse into the mind of an immigrant who is determined to succeed in life in the land of the free.
