Join the host of SBS Insight with her moving memoir that explores her father's Japanese heritage and what that means for her.
Kumi Taguchi shares in-conversation her evocative journey of understanding. Her memoir is her attempt to understand the dad she never really knew, and – along the way – her divided self: the tension between duty and freedom; the people she’s felt drawn to and lost; and how to find your place when caught between two worlds.
