You'll discover a story you'll want to read and put in the hands of young adult readers. While fictional, many aspects contained on the pages in This Light Between Us are true. In the beginning, readers will be delighted with playful, innocent letters exchanged between two unlikely ten year olds. Alex, a Japanese-American, living on Bainbridge Island in Washington becomes pen pals with Charly, a French-Jewish girl, living in Paris. As time marches on, Alex's and Charly's stories are juxtaposed, and are in many ways, surprisingly similar. Learn about the role our Japanese-Americans had in WWII.
