Barn Cat by Kyoko Mori

A young girl leaves Tokyo with her mother in 1979, carrying her pink suitcase to a new home, a new father and sister, on a dairy farm in Wisconsin. Thirty-three years later, her mother's belongings are found packed into boxes, her furniture draped in white sheets. Without so much as a note, a mother leaves these grown sisters to figure out where she has gone. What happens when people lose their way home? Like a little barn cat, they grab onto a second family... and start again.
Kyoko Mori is the author of three nonfiction books: Yarn: Remembering the Way Home; Polite Lies: On Being a Woman Caught Between Cultures; and The Dream of Water. Mori's essay Yarn was selected for The Best American Essays 2004 and Polite Lies was shortlisted for PEN's Martha Albrand Nonfiction Award.
