After the navy declares Jay’s father Missing in Action, Jay and his mother moveto her hometown in Utah near a prison camp for Japanese Americans. Jay struggles with his own prejudicial views even as he is teased for his 1⁄4 Navajo heritage. Felt a bit overlong and I had a difficult time keeping track of all the different characters, but the sense of time and place is terrific. Liked how it all tied together in the end without being too cheesy. The reader for the audio is pretty good. This book was really good! Read it for book club and i loved it! no reviews | add a review
