The racism inspired by the attacks on Pearl Harbor affected Japanese-Americans, or Nisei, across the country, including Joe Hanada and his family. The CIA for seemingly no reason arrests Joes father, and his family and he are shipped off to a concentration camp in the middle of the California Desert, called Tule Lake (too-lee layk). Joe’s brother Mike waits for his 18th birthday so he can join the military and prove his loyalty to his country.
This is an ok book, but not the greatest I’ve ever read. It’s a short easy read and it’s good if you have some free time. However, it starts very slowly, and lacks a strong ending. When the book ends, it feels like it should only be the middle of the book. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.
