Each short chapter is the viewpoint of a family member as they are forced from their comfortable home in California (with only a suitcase), packed into decrepit train cars with no ventilation, no food or water, and sent to a desert in Utah to live in wooden shacks. This novel is written with a tone that doesn't question the what and why of Executive Order 9066, but movingly shows the human tragic consequences as a result of government fear without accountability.
