Publisher's Synopsis
Keiko Kitigawa disembarks from a plane on a New York airstrip in June 1952, turning one scarred cheek away from the pop and flare of news photographers' cameras. An eighteen-year-old survivor of the atomic blast that destroyed Hiroshima and vaporized the people she loved best, Keiko has been chosen from hundreds to undergo sponsored treatments for her face. On the tarmac, waiting nervously, is Daisy, a childless housewife, who is to take care of the girl in her suburban Long Island home.
