Forgiveness : a gift from my grandparents

Sakamoto, Mark, 1977- (Author).

When WWII broke out, Ralph MacLean traded his quiet yet troubled life on the Magdalene Islands in eastern Canada for the ravages of war overseas. On the other side of the country, Mitsue Sakamoto and her family felt their pleasant life in Vancouver starting to fade away after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Ralph found himself one of the many Canadians captured by the Japanese in December 1941. He would live out his war in a prison camp, enduring beatings, starvation. Mitsue and her family were ordered out of their home, leaving many of their possessions behind. A moving tribute to the nature of forgiveness.
