ARC: Life Between Two Unwinnable Wars: WWII and ALS

Arc" tells the story of overcoming immense trauma amidst the world's most historical monstrosities. The author, a Japanese woman born during WWII who survived the A-bomb in Hiroshima, immigrated to the USA and spent her adult life as a professional violinist. She married a German physicist/engineer who grew up in WWII Germany, losing his brother and father to the hardships of war. Despite their tough beginnings in countries that are 5,500 miles apart, they managed to build successful careers, raise two children together, and enjoy rich and happy lives. This stretch of time the author calls "the Arc" expanded high above their trauma to create a beautiful and expansive circle over their lives.
