"Bento Box in the Heartland: My Japanese Girlhood in Whitebread America" chronicles Linda Furiya’s life growing up as a second generation Japanese American in Versailles, Indiana. Her story revolves around food. The preparing of it, the eating, and congregation surrounding sustenance serves not only as a backdrop, but demonstrates how it comforts an immigrant's homesickness and aids the family through their challenges.
