It's 1942: Tomi Itano, 12, is a second-generation Japanese American who lives in California with her family on their strawberry farm. But everything changes after the attack on Pearl Harbor…

so-so3⭐️ While I enjoyed the idea of this book, I had a hard time with the pacing and development of the book. There was ultimately very little character development in the book and each chapter was like a short scene in life sometimes having absolutely no connection with the next scene. I wanted more depth. That said, I do think that the author was successful in describing the hard lives that faced not only people of color but the mountain folk too.
Not a bad way to start the day… and a new book!
Had to bail on this one. I read through Chapter 5 and just couldn‘t get into it.
