Summary:

"His father in government custody, Ken is one of more than 110,000 Japanese Americans forced to move to makeshift relocation camps in the tumultuous months after Pearl Harbor. As traditional family bonds fray, and sometimes break, he stumbles toward a state of gaman: enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity. Nearly four decades later, another boy also begins a new life. A recent arrival to his rapidly developing suburb, Kyle assumes the role of daredevil and thief, always willing to take a risk too far. But when his exploits land him in jail, it's clear that risks have consequences and debts must be paid. Kevin C. Pyle's evocative images bring to life a story of unlikely ties across generations."--P. [4] of cover.
