In the hills of Northern California rush the waters of the American River, icy with snowmelt from the Sierra Nevadas. Near the settlement once known as Gold Hill is the bit of land where Captain John Sutter built a sawmill, and where James Marshall saw the bright glitter of gold among pebbles in a clear calm backwater of the river. Word of that discovery bought hundreds of thousands of fortune seekers from all over the world. Later, others came, hunting different fortunes or escaping lives ruined in other lands. Among the later arrivals were the 77 men, women, and children of the Aizu Wakamatsu Colony, escapees from a civil war in Japan. This is a story of one of the members of that group: Kei--now remembered in history as Okei--and her life in America and how she finds common ground with a boy during a drought in the 1870s.

Now available as a separate book to Welcome To Being Human (All-In-One Edition).Imagine a story written for adults, but told through 3 separate children's stories. One bedtime story for parents to read to a child. One story for a child learning to read. One story for children to read to parents. This is just what is included in the Children's Edition of Welcome to Being Human - the highly acclaimed book that has gripped adults young and old alike. How many times have you heard, "Life doesn't come with an instruction book?" But what if it did? And what if you wrote that instruction book before arriving on Earth so that one day, in your human form, you would find it and be able to look upon your life with an entirely different perspective? Ever since humans arrived on Earth, they have - for better or worse - bounced around the planet without any sense of direction. It would be almost comical if it wasn't reality. I mean, how many times have you asked a question and heard an answer like, "I don't know why, but that is what it says?" Or even better... "That's just the way it is." After all, the greatest minds on planet Earth have only a small understanding of something much, much greater than can be explained through science, math, and history. This is why Welcome to Being Human will find the rhythm to your heart. For the first time, one book answers the great questions about life that have gone unanswered for so long! It is a story humorously written by you, for you, to help you remember all that's been forgotten... an instruction book to being human. Welcome to being human!
