"Captures the resilience of human dignity and optimism. . . . A powerful must-read." --Booklist (starred review) During World War II, Tama is sent to live in an incarceration camp in the desert. All Japanese Americans from the West Coast--elderly people, children, babies--now live in camps like Minidoka. To be who she is has become a crime, and Tama doesn't know when or if she will ever leave. Trying not to think of the life she once had, she works in the incarceration camp's tiny library, taking solace in pages bursting with color and light, love and fairness. And she isn't the only one. George waits each morning by the door, his arms piled with books checked out the day before. As their friendship grows, Tama wonders: Can anyone possibly read so much? Is she the reason George comes to the library every day? Maggie Tokuda-Hall and Yas Imamura's beautifully illustrated, elegant love story features a photo of the real Tama and George--the author's grandparents--and an unflinching and necessary afterword that helps readers to learn more about a time in our history that continues to resonate.

Consider this book. Beyond these pages is my collection of stories centered on mental health and multigenerational relationships. This is my first book since the one I finished in high school, Mr. Rot's Garden (2018). It may seem curious there's just nine short stories I've tucked in here, but I am quite proud of all of them and feel they well represent my strengths as a writer.The first I'd like to mention is "An Assessment In Frailty" which picks up right at the end of a home tour. Eighty-four year-old Franklin Sprawl is put down by homeowner Robert Lash who claims the senior hasn't made any meaningful contribution to society during his lifetime of work. This spark's Sprawl's relentless need to prove lash wrong by making an art piece that says more about Lash's flaws than anything else. The second, "Surface Street Shades," follows Elderly widow, Geraldine Fade, who drives in a weathered truck with a distinctive gash on its tailgate. The old woman is aghast when a white SUV is stalking her, though she manages to lose them momentarily and sets upon inviting her handyman over to do work and quell her stress, she learns the hard way about the many faces of appreciation.Thirdly, my title story, "Threat Along The Homestretch" concerns an anxious young adult, with unbidden urges, who just wants to get home. But when road work redirects him away from the shorter path to his house, he must enter a senior center where he thinks he is increasingly susceptible to striking out. "The Welcoming Bench," shows a young teen boy's perspective change thanks to a story an old Quaker gives him about her dear deceased friend Nanette Looking. It's a cozy premise with memorable characters which tackles greater themes of religion and universal needs for companionship.
