In a beautifully crafted and
captivating graphic novel from award-winning writer Sherri L. Smith
and Eisner-nominated artist Christine Norrie, a Japanese-American
girl must survive years of uncertainty and questions of loyalty
in Hiroshima during World War II.
Amy is a thirteen-year-old Japanese-American girl who lives in
Hawaii. When her great-grandmother falls ill, Amy travels to visit
family in Hiroshima for the first time. But this is 1941. When
the Japanese navy attacks Pearl Harbor, it becomes impossible for
Amy to return to Hawaii. Conscripted into translating English radio
transmissions for the Japanese army, Amy struggles with questions
of loyalty and fears about her family amidst rumors of internment
camps in America - even as she makes a new best friend
and, over the years, Japan starts to feel something like home.
Torn between two countries at war, Amy must figure out where her
loyalties lie and, in the face of unthinkable tragedy, find hope
in the rubble of a changed world.
