This is the author's first book (b. 1932) : a novelized memoir, more evocation than autobiography
Author’s words: “This book has caused me to retrace a journey long past: occasionally joyful, occasionally painful. I believe that underlying everyone's experience, though varied, are threads of humanity that bind us all. It is my hope that you are able to find those threads in my story as you read it.”
Broad appeal: A book that can be read by multiple generational appeal, those who lived through this period and their descendants who want to know more about family background
Topical: Focus on the “Muslim menace” today has brought public attention back to the incarceration of innocents during WWII
Inspiring: This story ends well, in the sense that the heroine is able to go home again and has a positive attitude toward the future, as a result of her own grit and the love and support of her family.
Similar audience to Only What We Could Carry and Farewell to Manzanar, but here in much more a child's voice and a delight in small, everyday details
