Fifty-seven years and a lifetime of stories later, at the age of seventy-one, he reached the summit. As he wanders through the mountains of California's Inland Empire, Umemoto recalls pieces of his childhood on a grape vineyard in the Sacramento Valley, his time at Manzanar, where beauty and hope were maintained despite the odds, and his later career as proprietor of a printing firm, all with grace, honesty, and unfailing humor. And all along, the peak of Mount Whitney casts its shadow, a symbol of freedom, beauty, and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heyday Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52366677442871,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":108.36,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781597142021-1.jpg?v=1783223200","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781597142021","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
