Arriving in Seattle on the eve of World War II, Japanese-born Mitsuko falls for Tom, a widowed pastor, and quickly bonds with his fair-haired son. But the bombing of Pearl Harbor strains their relations as war hysteria and race prejudice rise.

This debut novel by famed translator Jay Rubin spans several decades and takes us from Seattle to the Minidoka Internment Camp and eventually to Japan as the minister's son tries to piece together his troubled past. Signed copies are available in our store.
