Isamu's Broken Dream

By Donald D Davenport

Book Overview

Isamu finds true love. And years of struggle sow their just reward. He dines at the Cliff House Restaurant and the magnificent Palace Hotel. The Kamaishi Trading Company rises from the San Francisco earthquake to become successful, as Isamu finds the American dream at last.But not forever. Forty years of an unblemished reputation implode almost overnight, following December 7, 1941. Isamu's American dream did not include a landscape of tar-paper huts and a barbed-wire fence in the Utah desert. But Topaz Internment Camp is where he and his American family spend twenty-seven months, beginning in September of 1942.And nowhere in his dream did Isamu visualize American warships led by the USS South Dakota bombing the iron foundry where he earned the money to emigrate.The Kamaishi Heritage series comes full circle in this fourth and final chapter of the Ozawa family chronicles. Share their pain and joy for the last time in this emotional conclusion.
