When Annette says that she has something in common with a murderer, she’s right. And she also has something in common with a tourist from Japan, as well as the American landscape. Annette doesn’t hold anything back - at her core, she’s a journalist. She investigates her own story like she investigates that of all the subjects in the book. Each person came alive through her diligent research, resulting in a tribute to a curious woman named Tomomi, sympathy for the man who killed her, and a reunion with Annette's childhood self.
Annette's is a story of trauma, healing, and connection. While there's darkness, there's a whole lot of light. Annette founded a nonprofit called Healing Lands Project to help children who have experienced trauma.
