 OW&lt;/a&gt;\n&lt;strong&gt;ABOUT THE BOOK:&lt;/strong&gt;\nI discovered a “lost” aunt\,
  separated from our family due to racism and discrimination against the di
 sabled. She had a mental disability due to childhood meningitis. She was t
 aken away in 1942 when all Japanese Americans were considered the enemy an
 d imprisoned. She then became a “ward” of the state. We believed she h
 ad died\, but 70 years later found her alive and living a few miles from o
 ur family farm. How did she survive? Why was she kept hidden? How did both
  shame and resilience empower my family to forge forward in a land that di
 d not want them? I am haunted and driven to explore my identity and the me
 aning of family—especially as farmers tied to the land. I uncover family
  secrets that bind us to a sense of history buried in the earth that we wo
 rk and a sense of place that defines us.\n\n&lt;em&gt;Secret Harvests: A Hidden 
 Story of Separation\, Silence\, Shame\, and the Resilience of a Family Far
 m&lt;/em&gt; is available at the JANM Store. &lt;a href=&quot;https://janmstore.com/pr
