some kind soul left this in my LFL Ken east
7 plus. Well told story about what it was like to be Japanese during WWII. It was truly a horrible time in history for all of the Japanese-Americans who was detained in the camps during this period.
The following review is from Amazon:
After a slow start, I didn't anticipate that the book would suck me in so much. Once I got to know the characters and the story got going, I had a hard time putting it down. In 1978, Patty's mother Lucy is suspected of murder, and Patty must uncover the secrets of Lucy's troubling past to determine whether she is guilty. Lucy was fourteen years old when she and her mother were sent to Manzanar, an internment camp for Japanese-Americans. What they experience there will change them forever. They must endure deprivation, loss, and abuse and go to extremes to defend one other.
Lucy's life is filled with disappointment as she loses everything she has ever known: her family, men she loved, even her beauty. But she is a survivor, and her determination is inspiring. The conclusion offers a few great plot twists and I was really surprised at some of the revelations presented.
