Inspired by their families’ experiences, Constance Hays and Kent Matsumotos expertly weave fact and fiction in this accomplished and haunting narrative that begins in 1939 and unfolds the parallel stories of Japanese Americans, Ruby Ishimaru from Hawaii, and Koji Matsuo in Hiroshima. As Pearl Harbor is bombed and America enters WWII, the consequences for Ruby and Koji are devastating. When fate causes their paths to cross in 1950, the attraction between the two is undeniable, but so are the profoundly traumatic effects of the war they both survived. OF WHITE ASHES is a beautifully written, intense, and powerful novel that deserves to a be classic.
