patriotism

"Nanea Mitchell may be the youngest in her family, but she still wants to 'dip her paddle in' and be useful. She knows she's grown-up enough to help in her grandparents' market. But before she can prove that she's ready for more responsibility, the unthinkable happens: Japan attacks Pearl Harbor--the naval base where her father works--and America is at war! Now Nanea must cope with missing friends and familiy members, rumors of additional attacks, and drastic changes to her island way of life."--Back cover.

"The diverse poems in this collection form a mosaic of seemingly varied topics: the Pulse Nightclub massacre; an unexpected encounter on a visit to Cuba; the forced exile of 8,500 Navajos in 1868; the arrival of a young Chinese woman at Angel Island in 1938; the incarceration of a gifted writer; and the poet's abiding love for his partner, who he is finally allowed to wed. But despite each poem's unique subject matter or occasion, all are fundamentally asking one overwhelming question: how to love this country?"--Provided by publisher.
