Mary Matsuda Gruenewald's memoir recounts her family's forced removal from their Washington farm in 1942 and their years in Japanese-American internment camps. She was a teenager when she wrote about it decades later, and the book is valued for that adolescent perspective, which shows the camps through a young person's eyes rather than a historian's. It sits alongside Farewell to Manzanar and Years of Infamy as a first-person account, but it is more personal and less documentary than either. It suits readers of memoir and twentieth-century American history, and students who want a human account rather than a policy analysis.

Reviewers and educators treat it as a clear, affecting first-person account, often assigned alongside Farewell to Manzanar. Readers praise the teenage voice and the details of losing a farm and a home. Some find the writing plain and the historical background thin.
