Description
In 1941, Alice’s days are filled with swimming in the Hawaiian sea, going to school, and helping watch her younger siblings. But on December 7, everything changes when Japan bombs Pearl Harbor and brings the United States into World War II. Within hours Alice’s father, a Japanese immigrant, is collected by authorities and sent to an internment camp. Meanwhile, Alice is left behind to face discrimination from former friends.
