Book Festival: Setsuko’s Secret with Shirley Anne Higuchi

Presented by Utah Humanities and The King's English Bookshop at The King's English Bookshop

As children, Shirley Ann Higuchi and her brothers knew Heart Mountain only as the place their parents met, imagining it as a great Stardust Ballroom in rural Wyoming. As they grew older, they would come to recognize the name as a source of great sadness and shame for their older family members, part of the generation of Japanese Americans forced into the hastily built concentration camp in the aftermath of Executive Order 9066. This volume powerfully insists that we reckon with the pain in our collective American past.
