Shortly after Isabel's second miscarriage, a rowboat containing a dead man and a newborn baby girl washes ashore near the lighthouse. Tom knows that he is required by law to report the discovery. However, Isabel fears that the baby will almost certainly be sent to an orphanage and persuades Tom to pass the baby off as their own daughter, to which he reluctantly agrees. He buries the man on the island, and the couple names the infant girl Lucy. Someone in this amazing community recommended this book to me, I'm sorry I can't remember who, but if its you; thank you so much. Forced to become pen pals, a lifetime friendship develops between Alex and Charlie who is girl mischief to Alex’s dismay. A brilliant milestone marking our passage toward comprehending the deeper truths of our existence.” —Eben Alexander, M.D., author of Proof of Heaven and The Map of Heaven The novel gets darker in mood when Alex decides to join a segregated army company - in large part to make a hail-mary effort to find Charlie. There is much brutality and much heartfelt feeling of camaraderie. Fukuda does an excellent job of conveying the racism toward the Japanese-American troops and the fact that much of their most heroic efforts were erased from the narrative of the American war effort. He clearly drew on real-life events which makes it all the more poignant.

Look I'll be honest - if I was watching TV and a film about time travelling came on, I would instantly switch over. For me personally, the whole science fiction, portal, time travelling sorta stuff has never been my cup of tea. Until now. Yes, yes, I know. I am as surprised as you are. However, my feelings on the theme of the book have changed due to Katie Khan. Whether I would find another fictional novel containing science fiction, as outstanding as this one, I'm not too sure. All I know is, is that Katie Khan has completely and utterly blown me away. What a beautifully written, engaging, mind-blowing and thought-provoking read this is. I have honestly never read anything like it, but if Katie Khan's future releases are going to be anything like this one, I think I have now found my go-to author for science fiction and the like. Alex and Charlie continue to write after the Japanese are sent to internment camps. A friend of the family delivers the letters to Charlie in Paris. Charlie's family remains in Paris longer than they should have. But there are other parts of the book that you're just not interested in, or you disagreed with the author's choices for storylines or focus.Galuppo, Mia (September 2, 2016).

I love the mixture of science fiction and romance, and I loved her first book. I think maybe time travel is too speculative for it to work easily. Reading about certain people’s readings and the messages of love and forgiveness really had an affect on me.

Success!

It was a beautiful book about a Japanese American boy and a French Jewish girl. They become pen pals right before the war begins, starting off as an unlikely friendship. But they continue to write over the years becoming very fond of each other. Alex, the boy, has no friends at home and Charlie becomes his only one. Alex wants to become an artist, while his parents, immigrants from Japan, want him to become a doctor or something of that nature. Charlie, always encouraging him to follow his dreams, hanging up every drawing he sent her. It was interesting and she seems to work with bereaved within a progressive process toward forgiveness and understanding. She used the word "validation" quite often. As does Theresa Caputo.

When Alex's letters are returned, he still continues to write, even though there are no more letters from Charlie. Straightforward, unassuming, and profoundly generous . . . Brave, honest, and beautiful, this book is a treasure." --Mark Epstein, M.D., author of Going to Pieces Without Falling Apart I feel like there are so few novels that explore horrendous acts in our history in the way that Fukuda does. It is this ache throughout our body. It is about remembering. It is art that reflects life. It will leave readers feeling awe when it comes to the way Andrew Fukuda brings this story to life. It is fiction that could easily be reality, because it's based within reality and the gravity of this story weighs at the reader.What makes this story unique is that Alex is a Japanese American. Charlie is a French Jew. They become friends right before the war. So this correspondence makes this story even more special since we know what happens when the war begins. I can only tell you that it’s a great book with a beautiful story and heartbreaking at the same time.

As always, a copy of this book was provided by the publisher or author in exchange for my honest review and/or participation in the blog tour. This does not effect my opinion in any way. This does not effect my opinion in any way. Review also found here at Booked J. It's impossible to write about this book without potentially giving things away, so I've thrown in a spoiler warning. Content: like I said, some graphic war scenes, mild cursing, some sexual innuendos. For the most part, though, I thought it was pretty clean. Also, there are a lot of Christian elements which is cool!

Rate And Review

I wish I could give this more than five stars, I really do. I just hope that when the author looks up at the night sky tonight to see the stars, she realises that the millions of twinkly stars in the sky still is nowhere near the amount of stars this books deserves, yet its close enough.
