Once his affairs are in order, he can proceed to the next step: suicide. His wife is done with him anyway. His daughters--well, he's nothing but an embarrassment to them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robert barely remembers his father and knows little about his parents' past. But a manuscript he's just found--left under an eave and contained in a dusty box along with ten medals from the US military--will enlighten him about many things. As he reads his father's words, he discovers a story of a Japanese boy born in Hawaii, a life uprooted by internment, and a young Nisei's harrowing quest to prove his patriotism by serving with the renowned 442nd Regimental Combat Team. He also learns about a long-ago forbidden love--and how prejudice can derail a life--in this sweeping tale of family, war, and two generations of men battling powerful forces both externally and within themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e J.
