Summary: Loud Honor to Danielle Steel
Review: I've always had a great respect for Ms. Steel's ability to bring life situations to life.In "Silent Honor" she has hit the top, in ability to live someone else's life. The research, or the knowledge, that she has displayed in this heartbreaking story of a courageous Japanese family is overwhelming. I lived right here in Sacramento. I was the same age as Hiroka, but I'm Causcasian. I'd been away from Sacto, then back again when I first read her accounting of this family's horrible experience at being interned. I've just finished reading it a second time. Since she was the same age, I identify, but I was, myself, far removed from her experience. I didn't even know too many Japanese at Sacramento High School. I was too young and inexperienced to be "reacting" in anguish at what was happening to the Japanese on the West Coast. Plus, I married September of 1942 and went to Monroe, Louisiana = further removed from their troubles. I realize that it took many years before anyone who'd experienced the much worse problems in Germany, or being an interned Californian, could have the desire to speak out. I was humbled when I heard, in Cincinnati, a man speak about his knowledge of Germany's death camps. Thank heavens, in recent years, folks have realized that it is important to put down in history the true words about the facts -- so that upcoming generations can not be fooled by some "poo-pooers" and "naysayers." I deeply commend Danille Steel for her excellent writing of "Silent Honor."
