"In the dark days of war, a mother makes the ultimate sacrifice"
Lucy Takeda is just fourteen years old, living in Los Angeles, when
the bombs rain down on Pearl Harbor. Within weeks, she and her
mother, Miyako, are ripped from their home, rounded up--along with
thousands of other innocent Japanese-Americans--and taken to the
Manzanar prison camp.
Buffeted by blistering heat and choking dust, Lucy and Miyako must
endure the harsh living conditions of the camp. Corruption and
abuse creep into every corner of Manzanar, eventually ensnaring
beautiful, vulnerable Miyako. Ruined and unwilling to surrender her
daughter to the same fate, Miyako soon breaks. Her final act of
desperation will stay with Lucy forever...and spur her to sins of
her own.
"Bestselling author Sophie Littlefield weaves a powerful tale of
stolen innocence and survival that echoes through generations,
reverberating between mothers and daughters. It is a moving
chronicle of injustice, triumph and the unspeakable acts we commit
in the name of love."
