⚾️Christine is an American school teacher living in Japan. She meets and falls in love with Hideki, a high school baseball coach. They have two children, Emma who has cerebral palsy and is wheelchair bound, and Koji who is bullied at school.
⚾️Being in a foreign country and taking care of her two children has Christine needing her husband more than ever. But he spends 90% of his time and energy on his baseball team. So aside from some other American wives, she feels all alone.
⚾️The characters in this story are very easy to emphasize with, especially when the chapter is told from the individual’s point of view. When Christine had enough and leaves to go back to America to do what’s right for her and her children, I was rooting for her.
⚾️This story definitely has more serious plot themes and will make you think.
