Book description

In 1949, Molly Pitcher leaves her small town in Minnesota to embark on a new life working for the Army Signal Corps. in General MacArthur's GHQ. Having been confined to domestic life in Minnesota, Molly is thrust into the tenuous and healing world of post-WWII Tokyo. Molly must navigate not only the social and cultural changes, but also her own changing identity. Romantic attachments, complicated friendships, loss, grief, and even a brush with Hollywood force Molly to create herself anew. It is in this very unique time in world history that Molly comes into her own.
