Writing under a ​pseudoname,  the author reveals stories of her life.  In her words: "My stories are there, within myself.  They tell how I managed to overcome many of my life’s obstacles, starting from being wrong from birth—a girl, not a boy—and never feeling quite good enough, then “getting myself into trouble,” but finding a way out, and subsequently seeking education and career goals that span my lifetime, until I find myself at a point when I have never been happier, and I feel like I am living my best life."

This book is  so engaging and easy to read, you will have trouble putting it down.  It is emotional and motivational and the author sincerely hopes others will find strength and encouragement from her writing.

Nikkei Journey - Japanese Canadians In Southern Alberta

In 2003, Dr. Sato prepared a museum exhibit for the Sir Alexander Galt Museum in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada entitled: Nikkei Tapestry: The Story of Japanese Canadians in Southern Alberta. As a follow-up, and in order to preserve this important knowledge beyond the scope of the exhibit, she published this book. Ten stories, each written from the first person perspective, tell what it was really like for pioneers, evacuees and their descendents to be Japanese Canadian.
