Susan is honored to be part of the program for the 2022 pilgrimage at the Heart Mountain confinement site, where her mother and grandparents were incarcerated during World War II. In this educational session, she joins other authors writing about the Japanese American wartime experience and its enduring consequences: Frank Abe (We Hereby Refuse), Shirley Ann Higuchi (Setsuko’s Secret), Douglas Nelson (Heart Mountain: The History of an American Concentration Camp), and Alden Hayashi (Two Nails, One Love). They’ll have a lively discussion about their inspirations and approaches.

Registration is open until June 15, 2022.
