About

With a white mother and a Japanese father, Koji Miyamoto quickly realizes that his home in San Francisco is no longer a welcoming one after Pearl Harbor is attacked. And once he's sent to an internment camp, he learns that being half white at the camp is just as difficult as being half Japanese on the streets of an American city during WWII. With a white mother and a Japanese father, Koji's home in San Francisco is no longer welcoming after Pearl Harbor is attacked. At the internment camp, he learns that being half white at the camp is as difficult as being half Japanese on the streets.
