Two lost men, each with a shot at redemption that's bound to a mysterious manuscript.
Kichiro Nakamura has lived on the edges of two cultures, a white foundling raised by Japanese parents in a small California fishing village. He dreams of getting published in the science fiction pulps, but the bombs that fall on Pearl Harbor destroy that dream. Struggling to hold on to his fragile identity, Kichiro must decide who he wants to be, but in a world torn by war and heartache, every choice means losing part of himself.
Decades later, recently bereaved professor Derek Chandler discovers a manuscript concealed in a former mental hospital and finds comfort in the distraction of searching for its author. But the search seems to die in a village that was levelled during World War II. There's one old woman who may still know the truth, but she's not talking, and her tattoo-artist granddaughter is blocking Derek's attempts to get any closer to the answers he seeks--answers he needs if he's going to complete his own healing journey.
Moving between modern and historical Los Angeles, Foundlings portrays grief, obsession, and redemption, along with the desperate need of the lost to be found.

Review
"Foundlings is one of those books that readers will love but booksellers will hate, because it totally refuses to sit neatly in just one category. It dances delicately between mystery, period drama, and cultural exposé, and gives more than a passing nod to geek culture. But what really reached me was the haunting, poignant romance that plays out softly, over decades of louder crashing history. No, it's not a seller's book. Foundlings is definitely for readers. And they will treasure it."--Jefferson Smith, Immerse or Die book reviews, and author of the Finding Tanya series.
