Summary
Judy Bordeaux's memoir is a classic American tale of immigration from Japan and Sweden and migration across the Western plains. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Wally Akahoshi, a Seattle resident and US citizen, and his Caucasian wife Doris are faced with the possibility of internment. Judy Bordeaux's memoir of four generations of an American family tells of the pioneer great-grandmother who crossed the Plains, deprivation and hunger in the Pacific Northwest during the Depression, the family decision to hide their ethnicity during World War II, and the experiences and life-changing events that shaped her own growth as a parent, teacher, librarian and storyteller
