Description
The creator at 16 years old used to be evacuated with her circle of relatives to an internment camp for Japanese Americans, along side 110,000 other people of Japanese ancestry living on the West Coast. She faced an indefinite sentence at the back of barbed wire in crowded, primitive camps. She struggled for survival and dignity, and endured psychological scarring that has lasted an entire life.
This memoir is told from the heart and mind of a woman now nearly 80 years old who experienced the challenges and wounds of her internment at a the most important point in her development as a young adult. She brings passion and spirit to her story. Like “The Diary of Anne Frank,” this memoir superbly captures the emotional and psychological essence of what it used to be like to grow up in the middle of this profound dislocation and injustice in the U.S. Few other books on this subject come with reference to the emotional power and moral significance of this memoir.
In the end,the reader is buoyed by what Mary learns from her experiences and what she is in a position to do with her life. In 2005 she becomes one more Nissei who breaks her silence.
