A story based on the life of Tomoya Kawakita, a Japanese American
convicted of treason at the end of World War II. Born and raised in
southeastern California, Tomoya finds himself trapped in Japan at
the beginning of WWII. His choices, decisions and actions lead to
an extraordinary turn of events. Fictional characters have been
added along with a true and substantial background and history of
federal and state laws leading to the internment of thousands of
Japanese-Americans living on the west coast. Circumstances, timing
and the law all come together to create a compelling story of human
interest, compassion and drama. The trial took place in the Federal
court in Los Angeles, California in 1948. The original manuscript
of this novel, written nearly 30 years ago, was recently discovered
by the authors grandson, Peter Christian Townsend who has decided
to bring his grandfather's story to life.
