It is 1944, the country is at war, and this is not her home. Rather, she returns in memory to her upbringing on a wild and astonishingly beautiful piece of land: Point Lobos, California. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere, it is the 1930s. And while her family's commitment to their new country is unshakable, their private rituals are Japanese--ways of bathing and cooking, her father's sumi-e painting, and a profound respect for nature's gifts and its dangers. Indeed, dangers await--an unimaginable murder, the suggestion of love, and lack of opportunity all ignite her first consciousness of race. And then comes the towering wave that will sweep away everything she knows--the mass removal of Japanese Americans, stripped of their rights and transported to prison camps in the spring of 1942. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold with tenderness and rage, \u003ci\u003eThe Rogue Wave\u003c\/i\u003e recounts the losses every family feels, but also the senselessness of history not every family is lucky enough to escape. In this unforgettable American journey, Melia di Kodani paints a powerful portrait of an era whose injustices mirror those of our own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melia Di Kodani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217208487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.25h x 5.50w x 0.75d","brand":"Melia Di Kodani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49096608121087,"sku":"9798217208487","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-rogue-wave-melia-di-kodani-9798217208487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
