Travelling to bookfrogster!
Sent to me as part of the wishlist tag game. Thanks very much for this. Looks really good!
This was such a good book. I really enjoyed reading about Henry and his relationships with his family and friends. Interesting to learn a little more about the USA during WWW2. Beautifully written and totally non-cheesy. Thanks so much for sending this to me ApoloniaX.

And off it goes to Anmiva to continue the rabck theme. Happy reading! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Thank you so much bookfrogster! :) I'm looking forward to reading this.
What a beautiful little book this was! This wasn't what I usually choose to read, but I'm really glad that I did. The story drew me in from the start, and what a beautiful story it was. So sweet and bitter. And like bookfrogster said: beautifully written. I wished for this book, hoping to read something different for a change and found a small treasure.
RABCK by mail. Enjoy!

Heart-wrenching yet beautiful story! I’ve read several books on Chinese Americans but this was the first book I’ve read that also told little bit of what happened to Japanese Americans during the WWII.
