In March 2016, Aya Katz published the sequel ''Our Lady of Kaifeng: Courtyard of the Happy Way (Volume 2)'' that follows the continuing adventures of Marah, Sesame, Father Horvath, and the sisters and some of the students now living in a Japanese internment camp for westerners. Commandant Izu runs the camp and wants everyone to be happy and get along, but Marah abhors his socialistic ideals, and those of all the utopian thinkers now foisted together into such close quarters. The novel is a metaphor for society in general and analyzes how true contentment can only be achieved with the freedom to pursue individual dreams, and many of these are curtailed by group think. | In March 2016, Aya Katz published the sequel ''Our Lady of Kaifeng: Courtyard of the Happy Way (Volume 2)'' that follows the continuing adventures of Marah, Sesame, Father Horvath, and the sisters and some of the students now living in a Japanese internment camp for westerners.
