This is a book about working alongside the ghosts of generations past, about the search for roots in the tragic history of internment camps and in the rural culture of Japan. It is equally about renewal-reinvigorating the farm with organic techniques, teaching his children how to carry on the work that eighty acres of peaches and grapes demand. Masumoto knits past and present to achieve a rare and essential harmony: holding on to what matters, despite the pressures of time and change. \"Take your time, linger\" with the book, counsels the \u003cem\u003eSan Diego Union-Tribune\u003c\/em\u003e, \"Masumoto's serene tales . . . are like a balm.\" He is a \"remarkable\" author, sums up \u003cem\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/em\u003e, \"with a field, and a sensibility, peculiarly his own.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.22 x 5.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 17, 1999\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51762118459680,"sku":"9780393319743","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/34a40eaf12a7bbfd6aace5176b1df914_ee361af0-6069-4a51-82bd-0371f3b671b0.webp?v=1780217781","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/harvest-son-planting-roots-in-american-soil-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
