The Samurai's Garden
An excerpt from the book by Gail Tsukiyama
"I wanted to find my own way, so this morning I persuaded my father to let me travel alone from his apartment in Kobe to my grandfather's house in Tarumi. It had taken me nearly two weeks to convince him -- you would think I was a child, not a young man of twenty. It seems a small victory, but I've won so few in the past months that it means everything to me -- perhaps even the beginning of my recovery."
