4.0

This book covered much more than Jeanne Wakatsuki's internment at Manzanar during WWII, though that is the central event that influences all the stories in the book. The author also explores how she struggled with defining and expressing her multiple identities as an American of Japanese descent, during and after the war. An important firsthand account of a dark moment in U.S. history.
