Island Dawn
Did Ulysses S. Grant unwittingly cause the bombing of Hawaii that precipitated U.S. entry into WWII? Did Yamamoto choose Pearl Harbor as Japan's first option? If not, why not? What might the original target have been?
Island Dawn is the first of the Rising Son Trilogy of novels tracing the lives of three fictional families through a thoroughly real century of turmoil, passion and war beginning in the mid 19th century. Japanese society is just emerging from twenty centuries of isolation and taking strides into the modern era. Each family story sweeps through the generations as the tides of history carry them into a collision of cultures, prejudice, war and fear.
From the poverty stricken farms of a distant farming village the Sakai family sends a son to the New World to begin a new life in the cane fields of Hawaii. His story includes adapting to a new climate, a new culture, racial intolerance and efforts to secure a 'picture bride'. After the marriage a shocking incident reluctantly forces Sakai and his new bride to immigrate to California.
Before returning to Seattle a missionary preacher and his wife spend years among the mission fields of Hawaii after serving earlier in the rural Prefectures of Japan. The Pearson's strike a lifelong friendship with the Sakai's and facilitate their settlement in the Pacific Northwest finally helping settle them on Bainbridge Island in Washington State.
