The memoir begins with the account of Hirasaki's father\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Kiyoshi_Hirasaki\" title=\"Kiyoshi Hirasaki\">\n Kiyoshi\n </a>\n 's immigration to the U.S. from Kumamoto prefecture in Japan, and his approach to farming and entrepreneurship. With the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hirasaki's father was detained by the FBI and taken first to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Sharp_Park_(detention_facility)\" title=\"Sharp Park (detention facility)\">\n Sharp Park\n </a>\n , then to\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Fort_Lincoln_(Bismarck)_(detention_facility)\" title=\"Fort Lincoln (Bismarck) (detention facility)\">\n Bismarck, North Dakota\n </a>\n . With the help of a white family friend, Manabi and his family voluntarily evacuated to Grand Junction, Colorado, where they purchased a farm and called over some other Japanese American farmers.\n </p>\n <p>\n Manabi decided to volunteer for the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, and was assigned to the 522nd Field Artillery Battalion. The memoir traces his participation in battles in Italy, France, and Germany. Meanwhile, his family returned to Gilroy, California. After he was discharged from the army in January 1946, he also returned there and with his family, established Hirasaki Farms. He decided to break off from the family in 1950, and soon got involved in growing strawberries. The rest of the memoir describes in detail the important role he played in the development of the strawberry business and the growth of Driscoll Farms.\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n <div class=\"section\" id=\"Author_Background\">\n <h2>\n <span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"Author_Background\">\n Author Background\n </span>\n </h2>\n <div class=\"section_content\">\n <p>\n Manabi Hirasaki (1923-2012) was a farmer and philanthropist who not only helped to shape the California strawberry industry, but also invested heavily in Japanese American community organizations.\n </p>\n <p>\n Naomi Hirahara worked as a journalist and nonfiction writer before becoming the author of the Mas Arai detective series.\n </p>\n <div id=\"authorByline\">\n <b>\n Authored by\n <a class=\"encyc notrg\" href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/wiki/Emily_Anderson\" title=\"Emily Anderson\">\n Emily Anderson\n </a>\n </b>\n </div>\n <div id=\"citationAuthor\" style=\"display:none;\">\n Anderson, Emily\n </div>\n <p>\n Might also like\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/My Life with a Thousand Characters (book)/\" title=\"My Life with a Thousand Characters (book)\">\n Iwao Takemoto: My Life with a Thousand Characters\n </a>\n </i>\n by Iwao Takemoto;\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Out of the Frying Pan: Reflections of a Japanese American (book)/\" title=\"Out of the Frying Pan: Reflections of a Japanese American (book)\">\n Out of the Frying Pan: Reflections of a Japanese American\n </a>\n </i>\n by Bill Hosokawa;\n <i>\n <a class=\"encyc rg\" href=\"/wiki/Fox Drum Bebop (book)/\" title=\"Fox Drum Bebop (book)\">\n Fox Drum Bebop\n </a>\n </i>\n by Gene Oishi\n </p>\n </div>\n </div>\n</div>\n",
