"A powerful must-read."--Booklist (starred review)Set in an incarceration camp where the United States cruelly detained Japanese Americans during WWII and based on true events, this moving love story finds hope in heartbreak.To fall in love is already a gift. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast--elderly people, children, babies--now live in prison camps like Minidoka. But to fall in love in a place like Minidoka, a place built to make people feel like they weren't human--that was miraculous.After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Tama is sent to live in a War Relocation Center in the desert.
Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the camp's tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and To be who she is has become a crime, it seems, and Tama doesn't know when or if she will ever leave.
