Included in this volume are three stories that take place in post-World-War Japan, exploring the reality of adjusting to life-changing circumstances. The period immediately after the end of World War 2 is unique for Japan in that Japan had never been successfully invaded and taken over in its entire history. In this collection you will find the kind of human experiences that often happen to a war-conquered people. There is something to learn from these experiences, and something to share and teach to others. Additional information is given about how these stories were created. Also, annotated bibliographical lists of where the reader can find more information on the time period and situations found in the stories are included, as are most sources used by the author.
