With charm, humor, and deep understanding, Monica Sone tells what it was
like to grow up Japanese American on Seattle's waterfront in the 1930s
and to be subjected to "relocation" during World War II. Along with over
one hundred thousand other persons of Japanese ancestry -- most of whom
were U.S. citizens -- Sone and her family were uprooted from their home
and imprisoned in a camp. Her unique and personal account is a true
classic of Asian American literature.
