Acerca de este título
As America enters WWII, two women on the home front strive to stay strong in a heartfelt novel about hope, friendship, and family by the bestselling author of Yellow Crocus and Golden Poppies.
Kay Lynn Brooke is a wife and mother in Berkeley, California, building a solid future with her husband and family. Then on December 7, 1941, the bombing of Pearl Harbor throws Kay Lynn’s life, and the lives of everyone she knows and loves, into chaos.
Within weeks, Kay Lynn’s dearest friend, Kimiko, is forcibly relocated with her family to an internment camp. Kay Lynn’s brother, fortified with a youthful and patriotic spirit, ships out for the Pacific. Her husband enlists ahead of the draft and leaves home for basic training, while Kay Lynn’s sister works for the war effort on the home front—and holds a secret that places her in a different kind of danger.
As Kay Lynn struggles to parent, keep the household together, and challenge the social mores of the time, she both finds and gives strength through her letters to Kimiko. Over the next few uncertain years, and longing for the safe and simple clarity of the past, Kay Lynn has no choice but to find her own place and purpose in a rapidly changing world.

“Bahni Turpin's narration draws listeners into the fifth in Ibrahim's Yellow Crocus series. The audiobook opens with a birth and the bombing of Pearl Harbor. (Turpin gets five stars for realistic childbirth sounds.)… Turpin underplays the occasionally sentimental dialogue and high emotions, keeping the real drama from becoming melodrama. Her sensitive descriptions of returning soldiers, both physically and mentally wounded, are flawless, and her handling of episodes of unbridled xenophobia makes this shameful period in American history all too real. Worthwhile listening thanks to Turpin's assured and compassionate performance.” —AudioFile Magazine
“The impact of internment on the detainees is well narrated, and their friends’ feelings of sadness, loss, and guilt are aptly shown. The falling and reblooming of wisteria flowers are blended nicely into the story. Highly recommended.” —Historical Novels Review
