About the Book
Japan has long been known as the Land of the Rising Sun, but it is now better known as the Land of Cat-Cafes, Green-Tea Matcha Lattes, Love-Hotels and Orion Beer!
Together, Don and Christine Kastner traveled to Japan to attend the 5th Uchinanchu Festival on the small Pacific island of Okinawa, where Chris once lived as a teenager in the 1960s with her U.S. Army father and family.
The sound of choppers hovering overhead . . . takes me back to my childhood. I grew up hearing them in the background . . . or coming in for a landing. It was a comforting background sound—along with the roar of jets streaking through the skies. I was a military brat.
About the Author
Finding her own creative calling in the world, Christine Kriha Kastner wrote a memoir in 2011 called Soldiering On, Finding My Homes—Memoir of an Army Brat. That book was a finalist in the 2013 San Francisco Writing Contest.
A writer and editor, living with her family in Cleveland, Ohio, she has worked as a stringer for several Northeastern Ohio newspapers. Kastner is a member of the Military Writers Society of America.
Her first book rests upon library shelves in the military reference area, often positioned between Seal Team Six and Soldier Dogs—something she never quite expected. This book continues her story.
