A favorite story of mine. I have neglected it too long. I recovered chapter 8 from the SOL records and will continue with chapter 9 in the next few days. If this sounds a little like "Heaven Knows, Mister Allison" you are probably almost as old as me. haha It has been decades since I read this book and seen this movie but it is vivid in my mind as I write this story. I could easily see this plot as a possible Hollywood remake starring some new faces for the nun and the Marine. I spend a little more time on the Japanese characters because of the cultural differences and the unavoidable misunderstandings of actions with a lack of perspective. I plan to end this story at 12 chapters. Any help in correcting my errors will be most appreciated.
