Publisher's Synopsis
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Janet's life in California was uprooted when thousands of Japanese Americans on the West Coast--including Janet's family--were forced into internment camps. Because of her brilliant command of English and Japanese, she was assigned the job of block manager. Janet was shuffled between three camps, got married, and had a child while the war raged on. After enduring the psychological strain of forced incarceration, her very survival was threatened when she joined her husband in post-war Japan as famine gripped the country. Janet remained an American patriot through all her ordeals, holding on to the dream of reuniting with her family in the US. --.
