About this product
Product Information
National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist "Susan Kiyo Ito is like a surgeon operating on herself. She is delicate, precise, and at times cutting with her words. But it is all in service of her own healing and to encourage us all to be brave enough to do the same in our own stories." --W. Kamau Bell 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 twenties 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. Along the way, Ito grapples with her own reproductive choices, the legacy of the Japanese American incarceration experience during World War II, and the true meaning of family. An account of love, what it's like to feel neither here nor there, and one writer's quest for the missing pieces that might make her feel whole, I Would Meet You Anywhere is the stirring culmination of Ito's decision to embrace her right to know and tell her own story.

Reviews
"If it is possible to feel all the emotions in a single book, this is it. Determined to no longer be the secret or the 'wild inconvenience,' Susan Ito writes with grace, courage, and wonder. I Would Meet You Anywhere is a cinematic, breathtaking journey of family, identity, and secrets: an instant classic in adoption literature." -- Lee Herrick, California Poet Laureate, "A brave, compassionate, and necessary memoir that bears witness to how we let go, when we hold on, and how families are not just born but chosen." --Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, author of Hiroshima in the Morning, " I Would Meet You Anywhere is breathtaking. Like a master quilter, Ito is able to find the patterns and fit them together in a beautiful, cohesive story that's balanced and satisfying, working in tandem to create a blanket of meaning enshrouding an entire life, plus some." --Donna Edwards, AP News "Unguarded [and] penetrating ... [Ito] finally claims her identity, her truth, her rallying cry of 'I exist.'" --Terry Hong, Booklist, "Susan Kiyo Ito is like a surgeon operating on herself. She is delicate, precise, and at times cutting with her words. But it is all in service of her own healing and to encourage us all to be brave enough to do the same in our own stories." --W. Kamau Bell, author of Do the Work! An Antiracist Activity Book, " I Would Meet You Anywhere is the poignant memoir of Susan Kiyo Ito's search for her birth parents. Ito's story opens the door to Japanese American adoptions with insight and understanding into the complexities of family, identity, and choice. A rich and compelling read." --Gail Tsukiyama, author of The Brightest Star: A Novel, "My heart waxed and waned as I witnessed Ito navigate fraught interactions with her biological mother. This deeply moving memoir grapples with where the biological family fits amid a cacophony of secrets and longing all too often faced by adoptees." --Angela Tucker, author of "You Should Be Grateful": Stories of Race, Identity, and Transracial Adoption, "A brave, compassionate, and necessary memoir that bears witness to how we let go, when we hold on, and how families are not just born but chosen." --Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, author of Hiroshima in the Morning "[This] thoughtful memoir expertly and courageously depicts the specifics and context of Ito's story. ... Beautifully and painfully wrought and illuminating ... The tension and fear of wanting to tell one's story, to be seen, to know and be known are palpable throughout Ito's stunning, brave, extraordinary book." --Amy Cheney, Library Journal (starred review), "In the intimate pages of I Would Meet You Anywhere, Ito yearns to learn of her parentage within the confounding context of closed adoption. As Ito plots a path to locate and know the birth parent who forsook her, we experience the pain of diminishing the self in order to be seen. An exquisite memoir of mothering and daughtering amid racial and generational differences." --Julie Lythcott-Haims, author of Real American: A Memoir, "In intimate, accessible language, Ito plumbs the depths of her own vulnerability, baring her heart ... [Her] memoir joins the growing canon of adoptee memoirs that eloquently and unyieldingly tell the true story of what it means to be adopted." --Alice Stephens, Atticus Review "In this reflective and courageous memoir, Susan Kiyo Ito writes with heart and candor about her experiences as a biracial adoptee to nisei parents." --Karla J. Strand, Ms. Magazine, "Unguarded [and] penetrating ... [Ito] finally claims her identity, her truth, her rallying cry of 'I exist.'" --Terry Hong, Booklist, "An intimate, deftly told story illuminating adoption's complications and losses, I Would Meet You Anywhere is sure to move anyone who has ever felt rootless, questioned their place within their family, or longed for deeper self-understanding." --Nicole Chung, author of A Living Remedy "Susan Kiyo Ito is like a surgeon operating on herself. She is delicate, precise, and at times cutting with her words. But it is all in service of her own healing and to encourage us all to be brave enough to do the same in our own stories." --W. Kamau Bell, author of Do the Work! An Antiracist Activity Book, "An intimate, deftly told story illuminating adoption's complications and losses, I Would Meet You Anywhere is sure to move anyone who has ever felt rootless, questioned their place within their family, or longed for deeper self-understanding." --Nicole Chung, author of A Living Remedy
