The Itos, Rose and Aki and their parents ran a successful grocery business in California until they were sent to camp Manzanar. Finally released and sent for resettlement in Chicago they have to start over but Rose who went on ahead dies just days before they arrive.
Aki worshipped Rose and losing her spurs the youngest Ito to find out what happened to her sister amid clouds of suspicion from her own community and prejudice from most of the cops. An unsettling period accurate read that shows what a country is capable of if it deems you ‘enemy’
