Show Notes
CJ Katsuyama has grown up hearing that “Katsuyamas never quit,” though she somehow always finds a way to disappoint her mother, a driven business executive. Joy Osmanski nails all the authentic emotions, especially 17-year-old CJ’s sarcasm and growing confidence. When CJ’s mother sells her family’s flower shop to the McAllisters, the same family who exploited her grandparents when they were sent to WWII internment camps, CJ finds a passion for activism. Perfect for fans of Sugiura’s first book IT’S NOT LIKE IT’S A SECRET or listeners looking for stories about speaking out against injustice. Published by Harper Audio.
