Beautifully written story about a Chinese-American boy in WWII-era Washington state, too "Chinese" to be accepted completely by Americans, too American to be accepted by his traditional Chinese father. He befriends a young Japanese-American girl whose family faces internment in a prison camp. The story bounces from past to present, and also touches upon Henry's relationship with his own son. A very believable glimpse into that era of US History that touches a full range of emotions.
