Made in Japan: A Story of a Life Blossoming Across the Sea Paperback – June 17, 2025

A riveting tale of an American girl raised in Japan during the 1940s. Gwenneth recounts of the horrors of war and returning to the United States, eventually starting a family of her own. Made in Japan is more than a memoir, it's the Thede-Hinz blueprint—a map—of where it all started to the wonderful place they call "family" today.From Gwenneth:To help you wade through these pages, I offer you some help. The main body of the book is a collection of memories with explanations scattered throughout. This will be the “fun” part while more chronological documents will follow in a section near the back. If you are looking for facts and chronological account, simply read the compact version at the back.If, however, you wish to be more entertained than informed (some of both) begin here and read as far as you can stand it.Some extraneous matter will be the last section. I do hope your adventure through this organized disorder will be enjoyable as well as sort of informative.I love you all! I’m so blessed! Read more
