A short book, only about 140 pages and told in 5 chapter. Each chapter from a different view point. This is a story about the internment of Japanese amaericans during WW2. The book starts with the mothers' view as she is told to evacuate, the duaghters view on the train ride ro camp, the son speaks during the long stay in camp in the desert. The 4th chapter is the families return home after the war. The last chapter is from the father who was imprisoned in a seperate camp from his family for 4 years.
The book is a quick read and fairly good. I enjoyed it a lot. We never get the names of the character at any point. Though this is most likely the point as it helps the book to apply to anyone. The characters are basic and could really be any family at that time.
