Frances Itani, author of the internationally best-selling novel Deafening and an extraordinary researcher and scholar of details, excels at weaving amazing fiction from true-life occasions. In her new novel, she traces the lives, loves, and secrets in a single Japanese-Canadian family trapped in the larger arc of record during the 1940s. After the harm on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the Canadian authorities uprooted Bin Okuma's family and family from other homes on Uk Columbia's west shoreline. Families were allowed to take only the possessions they could carry, and Bin, as a young boy, witnessed neighbours raiding his home before the transport fishing boat even undocked. Removed from the one-hundred-mile "Safeguarded Zone", Japanese Canadians were sent to internment camps where for five years they lived in hardship in hastily erected shacks in the mountainous interior. A lot more than 50 years later, after his wife's abrupt death, Bin journeys across Canada to get the biological father who has been lost to him. Both running from grief and generating straight toward it, Bin must ask himself whether he truly wishes to find First Daddy, the man who made a fateful decision that almost damaged his family all those years ago. With his wife's persuasive tone in his mind and the echo of their love in his center, Bin embarks with an unforgettable journey into his former that will put light on the dark amount of time in history.
