Jack and Kelsey are together now, their issues resolved. Kelsey has survived her horrific attack, and Jack and Kelsey together have achieved, if not justice, at least retribution against her vile attacker. Filming has begun on Kelsey's movie, Power Through, and they're living together in a permanent state of hot and steamy bliss. Life is about as good as it can get, right? But everyone knows that when things are going well, you need to be careful not to glow too bright with your happiness, because it makes you too visible, too vulnerable. The more vividly you shine, the more spectacularly things are likely to go wrong.Jack has a year left of school, and it's the hardest year of all. Jack and Kelsey have to endure long hours of time apart, time that they don't want to spend away from each other, him in class, her on the set. Jack is now semi-famous himself, and there are three girls in particular who are very interested in him. That can't be good. In addition, Marian Lowell, the Olympian that Kelsey's movie is about, is around all the time, and she has so much in common with Jack also; she's a swimmer, and she's a law student also, why wouldn't Jack be interested in her? Kelsey has an admirer of her own, an friend from her modeling days who's only too willing to be there for her and help her into his bed and back into some old habits. Drugs, an old problem of Kelsey's from long before she knew Jack, rears its ugly head once more, threatening the fragile sobriety she's managed to establish and hold on to these last few years. With these obstacles in their way, is it any surprise that all the sexy fun in the world might not be enough to keep this couple together? Kelsey does her best not to be a jealous girlfriend, and Jack does his best not to give her reasons to be, but it can be hard. Can they make it through this difficult, turbulent and trouble filled time and come out of it as a couple?

Mitsuko Hanamura was born wanting very little out of life: a place to call her own, maybe a small garden where she could grow flowers, just a little house with a shelf for some books, where she could live alone, with no need to share a bed, or a meal, or clothes, with anyone.But she was born in 1916 in rural Japan, the oldest girl in a family with eight children and no money, with nothing to depend on but her clever brain and indomitable spirit. Sent away at thirteen to live with relatives, hired out at fifteen to pay off a family debt, desperate for an education at any cost, this is the story of a young girl who never gave up on herself, no matter what her circumstances, no matter how bleak her life seemed to be.It is the story of my Obachan, or grandmother, as told to me by her, an amazing story which begins in the countryside of Japan and ends in the war torn streets of Kawasaki. I wrote it down as I heard it, believing it sounded more like a movie than her life; only the names have been changed out of respect for her living family. This is the journey she took as she exchanged one set of dreams for another, as she grew from a wide-eyed, hopeful teenager to a young mother in wartime Japan.
