Mazie Hirono Memoir To Be Published In April
Heart of Fire is the name of a forthcoming memoir from U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono.
Subtitled An Immigrant Daughters Story, the book is scheduled to be published by Viking Books on April 20.
A promotional blurb from the publisher describes the book as a deep homage to her mother, who proved that a single person can make a difference when she moved her family from a rice farm in rural Japan to the island of Hawaii.
And here is Hirono, 73, in her own words: Efforts to take away health care, slash funding for public schools, or undermine the civil rights that so many rely on are things that I strongly oppose and have fought against. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee I have worked to promote these values in fighting against unqualified nominations, promote fairer treatment of immigrants and minority groups, and protect the civil rights of everyone.
