Vera, a young Aleut girl who lives with an elderly couple on a larger island so that she can attend school, returns home for the summer of 1942 to visit her mother and friends. But when the Japanese launch an air attack on the Aleutian Islands, the U.S. government reacts by "evacuating" most of the Aleut population. Vera and her village are forced to leave their small island of Kashega and spend the rest of the war in internment camps, facing sickness, suffer, and death.

I read this book along with my daughter for her middle school independent reading project. I had little to no prior knowledge of this event. This book is poetry. This historical fiction story tells of a dark page in American history about the poor treatment of the native Alaskans during WWII. I’m glad to have read this book.

Beautiful and heartbreaking in it’s simplicity
