Official synopsis Publisher
When Lincoln and Tony take up the martial art of kempo, they never imagine that it will lead them to Japan as exchange students. They have little idea of what lies ahead when they fly from San Francisco to Tokyo, but when it comes time to return home, Lincoln has learned that his Japanese family, and people everywhere, are not unlike his family back in California. “The author’s keen understanding of his characters produces a story that is both touching and enlightening.”-Publishers Weekly
