Your Price* $5.49
A Chinese American boy and a Japanese American girl forge an unlikely friendship in wartime Seattle just as her family is sent to an internment camp, and forty years later he's still looking for her. Ford writes both timelines with great tenderness and the history of Japanese internment is handled with honesty and care. A deeply moving debut.
"A timely debut that not only reminds readers of a shameful episode in American history, but cautions us to examine the present and take heed we don't repeat those injustices."
