    [synopsis] => This intimate memoir offers a poignant, at times humorous account of Japanese American life in California before and after WWII.

In 1942, fourteen-year-old Hank Umemoto gazed out a barrack window at Manzanar Internment Camp, saw the silhouette of Mount Whitney against an indigo sky, and vowed that one day he would climb to the top. Fifty-seven years and a lifetime of stories later, at the age of seventy-one, he reached the summit.

As Umemoto wanders through the mountains of California's Inland Empire, he recalls pieces of his childhood on a grape vineyard in the Sacramento Valley, his time at Manzanar, where beauty and hope were maintained despite the odds, and his later career as proprietor of a printing firm-sharing it all with grace, honesty, and unfailing humor.
