A family’s hope amid wartime suspicion

Set in Hawaii in 1943, a year after the events of *Under the Blood-Red Sun*, the novel returns to Tomi and his family as his father and grandfather remain under arrest. Japanese Americans face suspicion and hostility while the community lives with the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. Tomi’s effort to raise his father’s boat, sunk by the Army during the attack, gives the story a concrete focus: the boat represents his hope that his family will be reunited. The attempt also brings new allies into Tomi’s life, placing friendship and shared effort alongside the pressures of wartime prejudice and separation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in historical fiction about World War II and Hawaii.
  • Readers seeking a story centered on Japanese American family life, wartime suspicion, and a determined effort to recover a family boat.
  • Those who have read *Under the Blood-Red Sun* and want to return to Tomi’s story.

Book overview

1943, one year after the end of Under the Blood-Red Sun, Tomi's Papa and Grandpa are still under arrest, and the paradise of Hawaii now lives in fear--waiting for another attack, while trying to recover from Pearl Harbor. As a Japanese American, Tomi and his family have new enemies everywhere, vigilantes who suspect all Japanese. Tomi finds hope in his goal of raising Papa's fishing boat, sunk in the canal by the Army on the day of the attack. To Tomi, raising Papa's boat is a sign of faith that Papa and Grandpa will return. It's an impossible task, but Tomi is determined. For just as he now has new enemies, his struggle to raise the boat brings unexpected allies and friends.
