Kumamoto Sojourn Leslee Inaba Wong

The "Inaba Ladies"-ten American women spanning three family generations on a whirlwind tour of Japan. With good-natured chiding and humor, these shop-till-you-drop women amaze, frustrate, and charm their Japanese guides, family and friends as they trek from Mt. Fuji to Kumamoto. Middle-aged sansei Leslee Inaba Wong balances the demands of travel with her newly diagnosed diabetes, while maintaining her New York brashness, tenacity, and perspective throughout. Her journey begins as a tourist, and becomes an odyssey as she uncovers her links to the land of her ancestry, in this honest story of self-discovery.
