Set in 1944 Chicago, Naomi Hirahara's Edgar Award–winning novel follows Aki Ito, a young woman resettled after internment at Manzanar, who refuses to accept her sister Rose's death as suicide. Aki's search for the truth exposes tensions in a new Japanese American neighborhood and the pressures facing families on the home front.

Drawing on decades of archival research, the book pairs atmospheric period detail with a carefully paced investigation. Themes of loyalty, identity, and racial injustice emerge as the protagonist pieces together secrets that many prefer to leave buried.
