Nisei Daughter
by Monica Sone
Nisei means second generation and is the term used to describe children born to Japanese immigrant parents.
Monica writes the story about her life growing up in the Seattle area where her father owned and ran a small hotel. She writes about her family, the Japanese community and the relocation of her family during World War II to an internment camp in Idaho.
What a wonderful story. She writes with such humor and fun that you sometimes forget it's a true story. Her family always made the best of things despite the racism during WW2 and being in a terrible camp with mud and dust and small quarters.
Monica will be interviewed Wednesday October 15th in Canton, Ohio as part of the kick off of the One Community/One Book program and the KIMONO exhibit at the Canton Museum of Art.
I highly recommend the book and check back for my review of her interview and the kick off event.
