But finding and meeting her birth mother in her early twenties was only the beginning of her search for answers, history, and identity. Though the two share a physical likeness, an affinity for ice cream, and a relationship that sometimes even feels familial, there is an ever-present tension between them, as a decades-long tug-of-war pits her birth mothers desire for anonymity against Itos need to know her origins, to see and be seen. Along the way, Ito grapples with her own reproductive choices, the legacy of the Japanese American incarceration experience during World War II, and the true meaning of family. An account of love, what its like to feel neither here nor there, and one writers quest for the missing pieces that might make her feel whole, I Would Meet You Anywhere is the stirring culmination of Itos decision to embrace her right to know and tell her own story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52197091180832,"sku":"NEW0814258832","price":16.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/811_ZPJAZL.jpg?v=1786959818","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/i-would-meet-you-anywhere-a-memoir-machete-0814258832","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
