\u00a0
From debut author Asha Lemmie, \u201ca lovely, heartrending story about love and loss, prejudice and pain, and the sometimes dangerous, always durable ties that link a family together.\u201d \u2014Kristin Hannah, #1\u00a0New York Times\u2013bestselling author of\u00a0The Nightingale<\/p>\n

Kyoto, Japan, 1948. \u201cDo not question. Do not fight. Do not resist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Such is eight-year-old Noriko \u201cNori\u201d Kamiza\u2019s first lesson. She will not question why her mother abandoned her with only these final words. She will not fight her confinement to the attic of her grandparents\u2019 imperial estate. And she will not resist the scalding chemical baths she receives daily to lighten her skin.<\/p>\n

The child of a married Japanese aristocrat and her African American GI lover, Nori is an outsider from birth. Her grandparents take her in, only to conceal her, fearful of a stain on the royal pedigree that they are desperate to uphold in a changing Japan. Obedient to a fault, Nori accepts her solitary life, despite her natural intellect and curiosity. But when chance brings her older half-brother, Akira, to the estate that is his inheritance and destiny, Nori finds in him an unlikely ally with whom she forms a powerful bond\u2014a bond their formidable grandparents cannot allow and that will irrevocably change the lives they were always meant to lead. Because now that Nori has glimpsed a world in which perhaps there is a place for her after all, she is ready to fight to be a part of it\u2014a battle that just might cost her everything.<\/p>\n

Spanning decades and continents, Fifty Words for Rain is a dazzling epic about the ties that bind, the ties that give you strength, and what it means to be free. <\/p>\n
