Nisei by JJ White have been acquired
by Black Opal Books!
Nisei is a story of determination,
honor, integrity and perseverance.
Robert has
been a failure to himself and his family his whole life. Gambling and alcohol
falsely satisfied and stole his soul until the day he signed the papers selling
his inherited home. Giving it one last walk-through, he was drawn to the attic
where he found his old baseball bat and a box. Upon opening, there was nothing
more than a cover sheet with Robbie
typed in the middle; underneath his answer yet to be read.
A
few months before his death in 1953, Hideo “Bobby” Takahashi, A Hawaii Nisei,
dictated his memoir to his lovely companion, Ayame. Bobby’s thoughts and
memories tell the story of his fellow soldiers of the Japanese-American 442nd
Regimental Combat Team who fought and died bravely for their country during the
war. He records for posterity his family’s unfair internment, attempting to
clear their name as well as his own, for he was labeled a traitor at the onset
of the war with Japan.
This
was Robert’s father…
