Edokko is an inspiring work by one of Americas great attorneys and international thinkers and ... a moving comingofage story ... David A. Andelman, Editor, World Policy Journal ... a powerful testament to grace of humanity in its most brilliant and glorious manifestation. Da Chen, Author of the bestselling memoir, Colours of the Mountain, and the novel, Brothers Constantine and Lydia Shapiro, both professional musicians, met in Berlin and fell in love after their families fled from war, revolution, and antiSemitism in early twentiethcentury Russia. In Hitlers Germany, they again faced persecution. Realizing the danger of remaining in Europe, they continued their odyssey, first to Palestine, and ultimately to the relative safety of China and Japan. In Tokyo in 1931, their fourth son, Isaac, was born. With the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the sudden onset of World War II, the familys life was disrupted once again. They moved from city to city in wartorn Japan, surviving privations and the bombing of Japan by the United States. During the subsequent American occupation of Japan, fourteenyearold Isaac was hired to be an interpreter by a U.S. Marine Colonel from faroff Arkansas. Colonel (later Lieutenant General) John Calvin Toby Munn gave Isaac (Ike) the opportunity to immigrate to America. Isaac landed in Hawaii in the summer of 1946, completely altering the course of his life.
