CIP info After growing up in San Francisco, a young Japanese woman returns with her parents to their native Japan, but she feels foreign and out of place.

It was ok. Say again shows how difficult going between two countries and cultures. May struggles to fit into a country she wasn’t born in. At the age of 17 runs away from home to work in the city. She runs to escape a life her mother had planned for her, and a match with a husband she didn’t think she would like. In the end, she meets a man that understands her need for American things. Together the mesh the two cultures together. It is a good story with fabulous illustrations.
