“[A] book that may be both personal and universal, both thoroughly researched and real.”–The New York Times Book Review

This striking work of narrative nonfiction tells the real story of six-year-old Sachiko Yasui’s survival of the Nagasaki atomic bomb on August 9, 1945, and the heartbreaking and lifelong aftermath. Having conducted extensive interviews with Sachiko Yasui, Caren Stelson chronicles Sachiko s trauma and loss in addition to her long journey to search out peace. This book offers readers a remarkable new standpoint at the final moments of World War II and their aftermath.
