Etsu Inagaki Sugimoto nacque in una famiglia di samurai negli anni successivi alla Restaurazione Meiji del 1868. In questa autobiografia, racconta le sue esperienze di crescita in una cultura con aspettative molto rigide. Mentre l'influenza e il potere della sua famiglia declinano, viene combinato per lei un matrimonio e parte per raggiungere il suo futuro marito in America.
La storia di Etsu si intreccia con spiegazioni sulla cultura, la religione e la storia giapponese. Man mano che viene a contatto con il mondo al di fuori del Giappone, deve conciliare le differenze tra le tradizioni con cui è cresciuta e le idee della sua nuova patria.
