In her book Japanese Eyes American Heart, Marie Abe shares her experiences of growing up in America as a Japanese American woman. She writes about the challenges she faced, the discrimination she experienced, and the resilience she developed. But above all, she writes about her love for America and her belief in the American Dream.

Abe was born in Japan but came to America with her family when she was a young girl. She grew up in a small town in California, where she was often the only Asian child in her class. She faced teasing and discrimination from her peers, but she never let it get her down. She knew that she was just as American as anyone else, and she was determined to succeed.

After graduating from high school, Abe went on to college and then law school. She became a successful lawyer, but she never forgot her roots. She remained active in the Japanese American community and worked to promote understanding between different cultures.

In Japanese Eyes American Heart, Abe shares her insights on the American Dream. She believes that the American Dream is not just about material success, but also about living a life of purpose and meaning. She encourages readers to follow their dreams, no matter how difficult they may seem. She also reminds us that we are all part of the American Dream, and that we all have something to contribute.

Japanese Eyes American Heart is a powerful and inspiring book. It is a must-read for anyone who is interested in the American Dream, Japanese American history, or simply the story of a remarkable woman.
