A gentle read that goes back and forth between WWII years and 1986 about a Chinese-American boy who falls in love with a Japanese-American girl and then the man struggling after his wife’s death and memories of that time during WWII. Another book I could see as being classified teen. As far as stories about Japanese internment, I like Tallgrass by Sandra Dallas better.

This book was fantastic! It’s a pure pleasure and if you are in the mood for a good love story, I highly recommend reading this book. Great characters and lots of warmth. I don’t think it would be possible to read this book and not care about the characters. You’ll also learn a lot about the internment of Japanese/American citizens during World War II. A very solid A for this one. Read it!
