FIRST CHAPTER FRIDAYS celebrates Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with Gail Tsukiyama's The Color of Air. From the New York Times bestselling author of Women of the Silk and The Samurai's Garden comes an evocative historical novel about a Japanese-American family set against the backdrop of Hilo, Hawaii. Tsukiyama explores the complicated web of family and the resilient nature of the human spirit, while also shedding light on an important period of Asian history, this time the indentured servitude of Asian people on the sugar plantations that were once Hawaii’s lifeblood.
