WOW!
What an awesome read! This book is very eye opening and informative.
The author does an excellent job of keeping the reader engaged the
entire book. At times I felt like I was living in the moment with the
author as he told his story. I was able to finish this in a few days
because I just could not put it down! ~AmazonReader
Excerpt
- "I heard Papa say that President Roosevelt was going to speak
tomorrow. He also said that he heard that Japanese soldiers might
invade California. What then? I thought. What would become of us?
Whose side were we supposed to be on? Such questions rang in my ears.
Our world inside the larger world of America was suddenly not safe
anymore."
