In this moving episode of The Samurai Way, host Lori Tsugawa welcomes Laura Elliott, USA Today, Kirkus-starred, and Wall Street Journal bestselling ghostwriter and screenwriter. Laura is the author of Dear Laura: A Lost Chapter of World War II, a deeply personal book that uncovers the remarkable story of her father’s survival as a prisoner of war in Japan and Indonesia.
Through hidden letters, decades of research, and her own journey as a daughter seeking to understand her father’s past, Laura brings to life a story of resilience, ingenuity, and faith against impossible odds. Her father endured starvation, brutality, and loss, yet he never gave up hope. Guided by values that echo the Code of Bushido—integrity, honor, courage, morality, and forgiveness—he left behind a legacy of strength that continues to inspire.
In their conversation, Lori and Laura explore not only the historical details of WWII but also the universal lessons of resilience, the importance of family legacies, and how forgiveness can heal even the deepest wounds of war.
