The Japanese-American internment camps of WWII are a largely overlooked part of our history. Many don't even know they existed. When I first learned about the camps many years ago, I knew I wanted to use them as a backdrop to a story. In doing research, I was able to interview three of our citizens who had spent the war in the camps. Their stories are heart-wrenching—the loss of homes, businesses and everything they had worked for--but also inspiring. They made thriving towns of the camps and afterward they started their lives over.
For the second part of the story, I interviewed my brother-in-law who was one of the student volunteers working for civil rights during Freedom Summer 1964. For his efforts, he was invited to a brief stay at a jailhouse in Greenwood. The battle for civil rights in America was truly a war in which men and women fought and suffered--and some died.
An historical novel, All the Way Home has a timeless message of respect and reconciliation, forgiveness and faith. I hope you will read it and not just enjoy it, but be challenged, inspired and even changed by it.
