Living conditions in the camps are harsh, but in the end Marie finds freedom and hope for the future. Told from a child?s perspective, The Little Exile deftly conveys Marie?s innocence, wonder, fear, and outrage. This work of autobiographical fiction is based on the author?s own experience as a wartime internee.Jeanette S. Arakawa was born in San Francisco in 1932 and was interned in the 1940s at the Rohwer War Relocation Center in Arkansas.
