Yae Chiba Conine
Yae Chiba waited for a long time for the American who fathered her child to return to Japan or send for her. He never did. Her daughter had a hard time as a mixed-race child in Japan, so Yae was relieved when she met another American who asked her to marry him. It was not a happy marriage, but for many years Yae accepted it as the cost of raising her child in the United States.
