This was a tough read. I think what I wanted is it to flow better, for the POV to stay the same. There were times I didn't know whose point of view it was coming from.. the mother, the daughter, a stranger? Beyond the writing, the story was heartfelt and heartbreaking. The evacuating of Japanese- Americans during WWII was an absolute crime. One America has never really paid for.
