Monica Hesse's books are like time machines —*vehicles that help us explore our past.
In her first book, The Girl In The Blue Coat, Hesse delivered a nail-biting deep dive into World War II, following a black marketeer in Nazi-occupied Amsterdam who is suddenly tasked with finding a missing Jewish teenager.
Now Hesse is back, and she's revisiting an aspect of WWII that's not frequently discussed: the interment of Japanese Americans and German Americans.

When they meet at the camp's school, Haruko and Margot believe that they'll only know each other, and only stay in Crystal City, for a short amount of time.
