In “From Salaryman to Bride”, Yulia Yu. Sakurazawa challenges traditional notions of family and parenthood through the lens of Fumio Uehara’s extraordinary journey.
Becoming a parent is never easy, but becoming a mother figure while navigating the complexities of a same-sex marriage in modern Japan is a whole new challenge. Fumio’s evolving relationship with his stepdaughters, Kana and Mina, is one of the most heartwarming aspects of the story. Their love and acceptance are a testament to the power of familial bonds, even when they don’t conform to societal expectations.
This book is a must-read for anyone who believes that family isn’t defined by biology or tradition but by the love and commitment shared between its members.
