Sumi Taguchi, a samuraiβs daughter, eagerly anticipates the arrival of foreigners from the West and the end of Japanβs centuries-long isolation from the world. Maybe these foreignersβif they turn out to be truly civilizedβwill bring answers to lifeβs troublesome riddles. But to be free to meet these newcomers, she must first avoid a nightmarish betrothal and the fallout from her rash curiosity. The young New York merchant, John Cardiff, risks his inheritance by sailing to the far side of the world. His fascination with Japan leads to a tantalizing, but dangerous trading venture. As trouble mounts, he dreads the shipwreck not only of his sail ship but also of his life.
