review 1: I enjoy listening to the Dear America series and this one is no exception. It's an interesting choice to tell the story of the Japanese internment through the eyes of a white minister's daughter. Piper does get close to the internees as her father ministers to them and they move to a town where one of the camps is located, so Piper experiences it in a way. Piper and her father also experience their own share of prejudice - people won't rent to them since they are helping the Japanese Americans.All in all, just fine, and it helped end the listening slump I was on. ;)
review 2: I thought that this book was vary well written. Also I thought that it was sad because when it said that it took all the Japaneses people to a camp to live in during the war I thought that... more was wrong because they had done nothing wrong when they were living in the U.S. Overall this book was a well written book with great details and the dairy entries were vary well placed as far as the story gos. When I was reading this book I was at school and when I was reading it many times I would have to put the book down to do my school work. Most of the time I thought of how the sad the people must have been vary sad but the book once gain was vary good. less
