About this listen
Stuck in a dead-end bar job in central Tokyo and barely making ends meet, Naomi Kihara's life turns upside down when her American father, whom she hasn't seen since she was a toddler, dies. Having been brought up to believe he abandoned her, it's a shock to learn she is his heir. But there's a catch: Naomi must go live in his hometown for one year. Felix, Nebraska couldn't be any more different from Tokyo, Japan. And besides, not everyone in town is happy the Johnson property now belongs to the Japanese daughter everyone forgot Mike ever had in the first place. But with the help of her new friends and neighbors, Naomi discovers a strength in herself she never knew existed.
Finding Naomi is the tale of one woman's search for family, acceptance, and love.

A Heartwarming Journey of Self-Discovery in a Foreign Land
This is the second book by Diane Nagatomo that I've listened to, and I greatly enjoyed it. Ms. Nagatomo has masterfully applied her knowledge and experience of life in Japan and rural America to craft characters and stories that are both believable and engaging. Similar to the theme of her first book, "The Butterfly Cafe," the heroine in this one is pushed by circumstances to find herself and grow. Community and friends support and help her in her quest to create a new life in a land completely foreign to her. Towards the end, there's even a touch of suspense that makes the story even more compelling. All in all, this was a very enjoyable audiobook, and I'm looking forward to Ms. Nagatomo's next work.
