Rio, born Chizuru Akitani, is the Japanese American daughter of the revered violinist Hiro Akitani--a Living National Treasure in Japan and a man Rio hasn't spoken to since she left her home country for the United States (and a new identity) after her violent crime. Her father's death, along with a mysterious package that arrives on her doorstep in Boulder, Colorado, spurs her to return to Japan for the first time in twenty years. There she is forced to confront her past in ways she never imagined, pushing herself, her relationships with her husband and daughter, and her own sense of who she is to the brink.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKELLY LUCE\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the short-story collection \u003ci\u003eThree Scenarios in Which Hana Sasaki Grows a Tail\u003c\/i\u003e, which won \u003ci\u003eForeword Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e's 2013 Editor's Choice Prize for Fiction.
