FEBRUARY 2021 NONFICTION: "SPEAK, OKINAWA" EXCERPT

Elizabeth Miki Brina - February 28, 2021
Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Elizabeth Miki Brina's memoir, "Speak, Okinawa"

One of my favorite essays of 2020 was Elizabeth Miki Brina's "Missing Ghosts," published in The Sun. I'm thrilled that our February 2021 nonfiction is an excerpt from her much anticipated memoir, "Speak, Okinawa," the story of growing up in upstate New York as the child of an Okinawan woman and an American soldier.

Available for purchase here or wherever books are sold.
