Mariko is one of the confused and uprooted Japanese Americans interned at the Heart Mountain Relocation Camp. She's also the mysterious and beautiful painter with whom McKay, a young rancher unable to join his brother fighting in the Pacific, falls passionately and fatefully in love.
In the shadow of Heart Mountain there are others perplexed by the ambiguities of love and courage. Kai Nakamura, reunited with his parents by the war, also has a brother serving as a tail-gunner in the US Air Force, and Madeleine, McKay's first lover, hopes for news of her missing husband.
With honesty and compassion, Gretel Ehrlich evokes a keen portrait of passion, loneliness and injustice from this neglected episode of recent history.
