Growing up with adoptive nisei parents, Susan Kiyo Ito knew only that her birth mother was Japanese American and her father White. But finding and meeting her birth mother in her early 20s was only the beginning of her search for answers, history, and identity. Though the two share a physical likeness, an affinity for ice cream, and a relationship that sometimes even feels familial, there is an ever-present tension between them, as a decades-long tug-of-war pits her birth mother’s desire for anonymity against Ito’s need to know her origins, to see and be seen.

Susan Kiyo Ito's story as a biracial domestic adoptee raised in a Japanese American family is a heartfelt and necessary addition to both Adoptee and Asian American Lit. With much relatability and grace, she bravely portrays her ongoing adoptee journey through grief and gratitude while navigating themes of identity, secrecy, and rejection. She generously shares the complexities of loving and being loved by her adoptive parents while coping with loss and detachment from her roots. Her writing style is so wonderfully honest and real that you feel like you're right there with her each step of the way. I wanted to hug her through the rough moments and cheer with glee through her more tender times. While these stories can be rife with triggers and hard on emotions, I felt she took care with the pacing and craft in ways that never left me too overwhelmed. As a fellow community member, I've always adored her and now I appreciate her even more. The heart she poured into this work is a tremendous gift and I'm honored to have had the chance to take it in.
