Sienna North's first novel, inspired from Japan's March 11, 2011 Disaster
Overview:
Sayaka Sato is an ordinary fifteen-year-old—until 2:46 pm on March 11, when an earthquake and tsunami strike Japan and rip her life into shreds. Sayaka is frantic to find her family, but first, she must survive cold, hunger, and worse. Will Sayaka be able to reunite with her family, earn their forgiveness, and forge a new life for herself, or will she be too late?
From the Author:
"I've just released my first novel, Red Sun Blue Earth on March 11th, the 2-year anniversary of Japan's tsunami. It's the story of a teen girlin Minamisanriku, who survives Japan's 2011 tsunami and her life in the aftermath. The earthquake and tsunami were life-shattering, life-changing events for so many people in Japan. In this story, I attempted to research thoroughly and stay true to the facts, and at the same time to reveal a bit of the true heartbreak and loss experienced by so many in the tsunami. I sought to add a glimpse of hope and light in the midst of darkness, both to remember those who suffered in Japan and to bring hope to others in their own sufferings."
