After the attack on Pearl Harbor, everything changed for Yoshiko Uchida. The book does more than relate the day-to-day experience of living in stalls at the Tanforan Racetrack, the assembly center just south of San Francisco, and in the Topaz, Utah, internment camp.

Commendation Quotes: Yoshiko Uchida has given us a chronicle of a very special kind of courage, the courage to preserve normalcy and humanity in the face of irrationality and inhumanity. Her family's story, told in loving detail, brings alive the internment experience and is an important book for all Americans. It is not a history of the decisions that were made during this period; rather, it is the story of the human lives touched and molded by those decisions. As such, it is infinitely more important, and infinitely more precious. Biographical Note: Yoshiko Uchida (1921-92) was born in Berkeley, California, and was in her senior year at the University of California, Berkeley, when Japanese Americans on the West Coast were rounded up and interned. Traise Yamamoto is associate professor of English at the University of California, Riverside. She is the author of "Masking Selves, Making Subjects: Japanese American Women, Identity, and the Body."Marc Notes: After the attack on Pearl Harbour, everything changed for Yoshiko Uchida.
