Sumiko Tanaka, a basketball-loving 11-year-old, narrates this graphic novel about the World War II incarceration of Japanese Americans. Through her eyes, we witness her family's forced displacement from their home and the pervasive racism they encounter as they are transported to the concentration camp called Minidoka in Idaho.

However, Sumiko and her 17-year-old sister Yuri also perceive acts of kindness and solidarity from their non-Japanese neighbors and friends in the Seattle area, instilling hope for the future. Despite the hardships they endure, including living in a dusty desert, they find solace in the knowledge that some individuals chose to assist them. This story sheds light on the actual actions and experiences of those compassionate neighbors and friends.
