Once his affairs are in order, he can proceed to the next step: suicide. His wife is done with him anyway. His daughters--well, he's nothing but an embarrassment to them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Robert barely remembers his father and knows little about his parents' past. But a manuscript he's just found--left under an eave and contained in a dusty box along with ten medals from the US military--will enlighten him about many things. As he reads his father's words, he discovers a story of a Japanese boy born in Hawaii, a life uprooted by internment, and a young Nisei's harrowing quest to prove his patriotism by serving with the renowned 442nd Regimental Combat Team. He also learns about a long-ago forbidden love--and how prejudice can derail a life--in this sweeping tale of family, war, and two generations of men battling powerful forces both externally and within themselves.","brand":"Open Road Integrated Media LLC","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411261350039,"sku":"9781504077941","price":1612.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781504077941.webp?v=1767917711","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/nisei-9781504077941","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
