"Touching, compelling and essential reading - Sachi Komura Rummel was horror-stricken by the 2011 Fukushima nuclear catastrophe. As a result, she has broken her long silence about being a child in Hiroshima when the bomb was dropped in 1945. With the innocence of a child, she describes the devastation and loss she endured and her gratitude for the love and joy she has shared as an adult." -Dr. Mary-Wynne Ashford, author of Enough Blood Shed-101 Solutions to Violence, Terror and War
