 | | Following Pearl Harbor, all West Coast ethnic Japanese, many of whom were US citizens, were forced from their homes with only what they could carry and interned in vast inland "relocation camps." Shamed and broken, Masuo eventually took his own life. |
| | The family endured, but the scars of memory remained even when they picked up the pieces of their lives and later, when Masuo's grandchildren took up the challenge of finding their identity as Americans. |
| | Stubborn Twig is their story, a story at once tragic and triumphant, once that bears eloquent witness not only to the promise but also the perils of America and the meaning of becoming and being an American. |
