This is the story of Nori, who knew no love until her older brother Akira came into her life. Now Nori has a family - a real, kind, loving family - and a whole world ahead of her. Don't ask questions. Don't argue. Don't fight back. The rain always ends. Kyoto, Japan, 1948. Little Nori is safely hidden from prying eyes. For many years she lives in the house of her wayward grandmother, who sees her only as an illegitimate heir. Nori knows no love. She endures having her skin burned by bleach baths. Nori has no choice, for she must conform to the Kamijo imperial family. But one day her half-brother Akira shows up on her doorstep. Talented and handsome, Akira sees Nori not as a dishonorable stain, but as a frightened girl. To keep them apart, the grandparents are willing to do anything, even sell Nori to a geisha house. The girl who should be silent will learn to speak. Even when the price of freedom is pain, the light inside Nori does not go out, but grows stronger, illuminating everything around her.
