After the Empire of Japan attacked the U.S. fleet at Pearl Harbor in December 1941, life changed utterly for the Kurobes, a Japanese American family from Southern California. Along with thousands of others, they were forced to sell everything and evacuate their home to be incarcerated in concentration camps for the duration of the war. Robert Kono's historical novel follows the life of Alan Kurobe, who is nine years old when first shipped to a camp in Wyoming. When his mother falls ill, he and his two younger sisters are relocated to a camp in Texas to join their Japanese-born father, who has no interest in them. Family dysfunction, institutional racism and a permanent identity crisis plague Alan for four years in the camps before the family is forcibly "repatriated" to Japan at the insistence of their father. They survive for another 13 years in a devastated, disease-ridden foreign country until finally allowed to return home. A story of determination, resilience and ultimate personal triumph, based on the author's real-life experiences.
