In an instant her world was changed. Her mother died shortly after Japan's surrender. The devastation of war and the loss of her mother awakened in Sachiko's heart a deep resolve to devote her life to building a world of peace where the dignity of all human beings is respected and the peril and haunting specter of nuclear war is nonexistent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiven her experience with war, it was ironic that she would marry an American soldier, LeRoy Bailey. It was in the United States that she was introduced to Nichiren Buddhism and credits her practice of Buddhism, as well as her mentor, Daisaku Ikeda, with saving and transforming her life. Through his example, she was able to learn how to tap the innate power of her spirit to weather life's storms; to change poison into medicine; to win over all obstacles, and to turn winter into spring. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause of her growth and understanding of life, Sachiko Takata Bailey now thinks of August 6, 1945, as Victory Day, because the victorious and optimistic person she became emerged from the ashes and ruins of Hiroshima.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akemi Bailey Haynie,Sachiko Takata Bailey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1460216911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781460216910\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e FriesenPress\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Akemi Bailey Haynie","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48444966535423,"sku":"9781460216910","price":30.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f6b24c9-d8d1-43d8-bb16-b4ff6b658f19.jpg?v=1777215740","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/winter-always-turns-to-spring-akemi-bailey-haynie-9781460216910","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
