Daughter of Moloka'i by Alan Brennert

Started: 2/9/20
Finished: 4/25/20
Year: 2019
Pages: 308
Genre: Literature
Grade: B
Reason for reading: Goodreads.com giveaway
Blurb (from back cover): "Separated from her mother at birth, Ruth is adopted by Japanese immigrants and grows up on a strawberry farm in California. During World War II she and her family suffer through the injustice of internment. Only later is she reunited with Rachel, the mother she never knew. Brennert powerfully evokes a lesser-known homefront war story as well as offering a richly emotional tale of two women who never expected to meet, much less come to love one another."
Opinion: Not as good as the first one but still a powerful story. Anyone who enjoyed Moloka'i will enjoy this story and see how Ruth turned out.
