Abstract It is four months after Pearl Harbour and signs appear overnight all over the United States instructing Japanese Americans to report to internment camps for the duration of the war. For one family it proves to be a nightmare of oppression and alienation. Explored from varying points of view - the mother receiving the order to evacuate; the daughter on the long train journey; the son in the desert encampment; the family's return home; and the bitter release of their father after four years of captivity - it tells of an incarceration that will alter their lives for ever. -- back cover.
