Sometimes you have to run far, far away to find your way home.
Recently wed—and quickly divorced—twenty-four-year-old Sarah Coomber escapes the disappointments of her Minnesota life for a job teaching English in Japan. Her plan is to use the year to reflect, heal and figure out what to do with her wrecked life while enjoying the culture of the country where she had previously spent a life-changing summer that included a romance with a young baseball player.
The reality?
Sarah finds herself the lone English speaker in an isolated rural area, where she is drawn into serving tea to her male coworkers, performing with a koto (zither) group, advocating for her female students and colleagues, and embarking on a controversial romance with a local salaryman.
This isn’t the Japan Sarah was seeking, but it just might be the Japan she needs.
“... an entertaining and honest account of a young woman’s self-discovery in a foreign land.â€
LAURA KRISKA, AUTHOR OF THE ACCIDENTAL OFFICE LADY AN AMERICAN WOMAN IN CORPORATE JAPAN
“...Coomber addresses the question of this American hour how to honor even cherish fellow humans regardless of divergent cultural, political or spiritual convictions. The Same Moon injects hope into the current American climate of intolerance.â€

- Thoughtfully and descriptively written, I found myself thinking about this book and wanting to keep reading to find out what was going to happen next. I enjoyed learning more about Japanese culture during the time frame, reading all the beautiful descriptions, as well as following Coomber's physical and emotional journeys as she recounts her time spent in Japan and the people she meets. How do we impact those around us and vice versa even if our time together isn't very long? And, when forced to examine our decisions and surroundings, what determines "home"? The book, to me, was both insightful and entertaining--the best kind of story!
