Separated by the internment camps, and the war , they marry others. Both are widowed. Then reunited. It is a beautiful love story. It also tells the story of the mistreatment of American citizens of Japanese ancestry and how they were hated by most Americans. This story needs to be known so that history does not repeat itself.
