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.
Beatifully illustrated by award-winning illustrator Christine
Norrie
A thrilling tale of torn loyalty and survival during terrible
crisis
A glimpse into the untold stories of WWII
