Returning home to the Idaho potato farm she fled twenty-five years earlier, Japanese-American Yumi struggles with her father’s terminal illness, her mother’s Alzheimer’s, her former best friend, and a former lover who once offended the town. A backstreet abortion ends a relationship and drives a wedge between Yumi and her best friend, Cassie Quinn. Cassie resents Yumi for terminating the pregnancy.
