This was a very difficult book to read, considering my father and his family were sent to the camp at Lemon Creek in British Columbia, where his sister eventually died at a very young age of pneumonia. That has caused me to take a great interest in the lives of Japanese Canadians in World War II, and why I picked up this book.
My only issue with the book was that sometimes it was confusing as to which time period it was in as it jumps back and forth between circa 1943 and the "present", however it kept me engrossed to the very end and had some very powerful statements that hit me hard.
Overall a good read.
