Interesting book about the Japanese Internment Camp - Manzanar. It is a work of fiction but the historical information in the book is very accurate.
Of course, I knew about the Manzanar Prison Camps the Japanese Americans were forced to go during the war, but I never read a book about it. This book was deeply moving and parts so sad, I felt like crying. It was an eye opening story of the hardships they endured. I flew through this book in a couple of evenings and highly recommend it.
What not a single review on pbs? Hard to imagine.
Sophie Littlefield is a talented author who writes the BAD day for...series. If you have read that Bad day series and liked it, as I did. Then maybe you are ready to see what else the author wrote.
This book is set in 1978. Patti is about to get married in a few days. She has moved back home with her mother Lucy to get ready for the wedding. Lucy is visited by an officer because a man is dead, and suicide is suspected, but Lucy was seen near the area when this happened.
Then we flash back to WWII and learn about how Lucy knew this man, in the Japanese American concentration camps in California.
This is a well told story that flips back from the 1940s to 1978. Patti is doing some of the investigation, and Lucy starts to tell her about her past.
There are some great surprise endings. I really enjoyed the book. You really didnt see any similarities in the Bad Day series and this book that would even lead me to believe this was the same author. Both are equally good books.

A very different book from Sophie's usual tale, but extremely well written. I could feel the pain and loss those poor people felt when sent to internment camps and how they were mistreated and abused. This can never be allowed to happen again in this country.
interesting book historical fiction
While reading the book I was not liking the way the timeline of the story was told. I like a little mystery to my books. But at the end I was not disappointed with the hidden mysteries.
The book was an easy read.
