A Time of Innocence

A Time of Innocence tells the poignant story of

Japanese-American families who escaped the West Coast

during the brief period of voluntary evacuation

and make their dangerous way into the interior to avoid

confinement in the Government camps. The families

hardships, travails and triumphs, told in fictional form,

capture the feelings and background of the time.

Translated into Japanese and published in Japan in 2005,

it is available from Seiryu Publishing on line.

of the voluntary wartime refugees,

GREG ROBINSON, author of By Order Of The President



...have captured the unforgettable moments of
