Aleutian Sparrow by Karen Hesse
The story of the forced relocation of the Aleuts during WWII, told in free verse from a young girl's perspective.
I hate her mother.
I don't hate her mother.
I can't understand her mother.
For a person who has such a strong relationship with my own mother, it is hard for me to understand.
Hard to understand how her mother could just send her to stay with someone else.
Hard to understand how her mother could just leave her in the camp.
It is terrible what the government did to her people. The hard times she was put through because of her race.
It makes it worse that one of her own family would turn her back on her as well.
