Follow My Heart

Synopsis

I Drove Down A Narrow And Winding Mountainside Road Toward Iwakuni. The Sky Was Growing Dark, And Snow Fell Heavier And Faster. I Could Barely See Where I Was Going. I Heard A Siren From A Patrol Car In The Distance Approaching. My Heart Was In A State Of Panic And I Was Terrified. I Pleaded Or Rather Prayed, Not To Get Caught. I Was Desperate And Broken-hearted. Just An Hour Before I Had A Dreadful Confrontation With My Parents And Decided To Leave Japan And Marry Tom, An American Gi. I Knew My Traditional Father Would Be Furious. I Knew Any Satisfactory Resolution Between Us Would Be Impossible. I Knew In My Soul There Was Nothing I Could Do. I Knew There Was No Turning Back.
