An intimate portrayal of the Japanese-American experience following the attack on Pearl Harbor
Drawing on the lived experiences of her relatives, Traci Chee crafts a compelling narrative that delves into the lives of fourteen Japanese-American teens as their lives are uprooted in the midst of World War II. In capturing their pain and their joy, Chee expertly weaves the troubles and antics of youth with the trauma of forced incarceration. Fans of World War II historical fiction may appreciate this story from a lesser-heard perspective.
