SUMMARY:DGC Book Club - Secret Harvests: A Hidden Story of Separation and the Resilience of a Family Farm\, (2023) by  David “Mas” Masumoto
DESCRIPTION:Per Mas: “I discover a “lost” aunt\, separated from our family due to racism and discrimination against the disabled. She had a mental disability due to childhood meningitis. She was taken away in 1942 when all Japanese Americans were considered the enemy and imprisoned. She then became a “ward” of the state. We believed she had died\, but 70 years later found her alive and living a few miles from our family farm. How did she survive? Why was she kept hidden? How did both shame and resilience empower my family to forge forward in a land that did not want them? I am haunted and driven to explore my identity and the meaning of family—especially as farmers tied to the land. I uncover family secrets that bind us to a sense of history buried in the earth that we work and a sense of place that defines us.” \n\n\n\n~ // ~ \n\n\n\nHere’s also an interview on NPR about the book and Mas’ experience spurring him to write it:  https://www.npr.org/2024/03/15/1238578431/family-hospice-funeral-home-kindness \n\n\n\n~ // ~Bonus!!
