Emi's best friend brings her a bracelet as a parting gift. Originally published as a short story, the book opens as Emi, her mother and sister prepare to leave their California home for a new residence: a racetrack that has been turned into a prison camp. The haunting immediacy of this moving tale may derive from its roots in Uchida's ( A Jar of Dreams The Best Bad Thing ) own childhood experiences-the author was interned in camps for Japanese Americans during WW II.
