Virtual Event with Gail Tsukiyama & Open Air Shopping

We are pleased to announce Gail Tsukiyama, San Francisco native and New York Times bestselling author of Women of the Silk and The Samurai's Garden for our next virtual event. This gorgeous and evocative historical novel is about a Japanese-American family set against the backdrop of Hawai'i's sugar plantations. Alternating between past and present--from the day of the volcano eruption in 1935 to decades prior--The Color of Air interweaves the stories of Daniel, Koji, and Mariko to create a rich, vibrant, bittersweet chorus that celebrates their lifelong bond to one other and to their immigrant community. As the volcano Mauna Loa threatens their lives and livelihoods, it also unearths long held secrets simmering below the surface that meld past and present. Please join us Thursday, August 13th at 6 PM to celebrate a powerful novel exploring culture, family, and community.

Please RSVP HERE.
