A Jar of Dreams Paperback - 1993 - 2nd Edition

by Yoshiko Uchida

"An ingenious simplicity and grace mark the first-person telling of the story of eleven-year-old Rinko and her Japanese family in Berkeley, California. Times are hard for everyone in 1935, but being Japanese is for Rinko an added burden. . . . Compared with the many worldly-wise contemporary book heroines, Rinko in her guilelessness is genuine and refreshing, and her worries and concerns seem wholly natural, honest and convincing".--The Horn Book.


From the publisher

A Jar of Dreams is Yoshiko Uchida's work of unforgettable historical fiction about a young girl who grows up in a closely-knit Japanese American family in California during the 1930's, a time of great prejudice. Eleven-year-old Rinko grows up in a closely-knit Japanese American family in California during the Depression, a time of great prejudice.

First line

I NEVER THOUGHT ONE SMALL LADY FROM JApan could make such a big difference in my life, but she did.
