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.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 230\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 11, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47241454256377,"sku":"9781504077941","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Yk9YQVlHUmFUZ0VSZURqU2lIaFNkQT09_e9e30e43-5e54-42b4-bd79-0a8cc26f0560.webp?v=1768580637","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/nisei-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
