Mazie Hirono Memoir To Be Published In April

“Heart of Fire” is the name of a forthcoming memoir from U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono.

Subtitled “An Immigrant Daughter’s Story,” the book is scheduled to be published by Viking Books on April 20.

A promotional blurb from the publisher describes the book as “a deep homage to her mother, who proved that a single person can make a difference when she moved her family from a rice farm in rural Japan to the island of Hawaii.”

And here is Hirono, 73, in her own words: “Efforts to take away health care, slash funding for public schools, or undermine the civil rights that so many rely on are things that I strongly oppose and have fought against. As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee I have worked to promote these values in fighting against unqualified nominations, promote fairer treatment of immigrants and minority groups, and protect the civil rights of everyone.”

Thank for the heads up on her memoir.

She came from strong roots and blossomed.

I hope she is in good health. I know she was battling cancer not too long ago.
