In their youth, while a half a world apart, they shared a world depression. In their adolescence they shared an oncoming world war. As young adults they shared that war's tragedies and horrors. But it wasn't only Franklin Dreiser and Fumiko Nishida who shared destinies - so did the Japanese people and the American occupation forces. Together they found a mutual affection and respect. Together they forged the world's newest democracy. In the new world that emerged from the devastation, Japan and America now share the destiny of an inseverable bond. The Japanese still have their Emperor - the American's still have their Constitution. But the Japanese have made themselves consanguineous in recognizing man's need for personal sovereignty, dignity and freedom. Within this incredible story every member of the Dreiser and Nishida families has a riveting story of their own; some destinies still in progress - other destinies now achieved.
