On January 6,1945, Miyoko and her mother Setsuko are on a train pulling

into Hiroshima station. Little Boy ignites, destroying 90% of the city and

immediately killing 80,000 people.  Miyoko and Setsuko  survive with minor

physical injuries.  Setsuko's subsequent overprotectniveness drives Miyoko 

to flee to San Francisco where she enrolls in college.  She meets Lincoln.

They marry and have a son, Tyler. Due to Miyoko's health issues,

they relocate to Fort Lauderdale, where her condition improves.  

  When Tyler turns 30, Miyoko's health deteriorates again. Setsuko flies from

Hiroshima to care for her daughter.  Miyoko passes away due to her myeloid

leukemia condition.  Her Will directs Tyler and Setsuko to carry her ashes

back to Hiroshima for interment in the family shrine.

  In Hiroshima, he meets his granducle Isama and Tomoko, a family friend.

They bond during visits to Hiroshima's historical sites.  The city still shows

scars left behind from Little Boy's visit fifty years earlier.  Tyler discover the

Japanese part of his Heritage, falls in love, and finds a special way to honor 

his mother.

  I am currently seeking the services of a  literary agent to help me get

Miyoko's Will  published.  I am writing a sequel.
