I loved this book and the one thing that kept coming back to me while reading this story is why hadn't I been taught about this part of WWII in any of my social studies or American history classes in school. I knew of the Japenese Internment camps, but only what I had seen in movies. This is the first book I have read on the subject and even though the book is a work of fiction it really made me want to dig deeper and learn more about the subject. The story is an inspiring look at love, relationship and a period of time in our country that isnt really discussed very much. Our book clud unanimously loved this book.
