But the Pacific War ended and the idea of returning to her home in the village of Steveston, BC, Canada and getting married, was not her cup of tea. She had a \"backup\" fiancé waiting in the wings, but she just wasn't ready to settle down. Through the army grapevine, she heard rumors about opportunities for Japanese translators. On the advice of a couple of Australian soldiers, she and her friend Florence Whiting, another CWAC and linguist, got themselves discharged from the army, and applied as civilians to work for General MacArthur's Allied Occupation Government in Tokyo. In the late summer of 1946, the girls were off on a ship departing from Seattle and bound for Japan and the most incredible adventures they could imagine in The Land Of The Rising Sun.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0CSX6JRN9\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0CSX6JRN9.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Toomey, Elizabeth\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
