Description
This powerful memoir recounts a Japanese American family’s forced incarceration at Manzanar during World War II and the lasting impact of that experience on a young girl coming of age behind barbed wire. Through vivid personal recollection, it explores displacement, family resilience, identity, prejudice, and the difficult search for belonging in one’s own country. Both intimate and historically significant, the narrative offers a compelling perspective on a defining chapter in American history and the enduring consequences of injustice.
