A family in a Wyoming camp copes with gossip amid the losses caused by their sudden removal and confinement. A World War II veteran reluctantly tells his granddaughter about his time overseas. A young boy acts as a translator between his mother and her doctor, trying and failing to convey the source of her pain. Sharon Hashimoto traces the costs of war and internment as felt across generations of Japanese Americans in stories that are vital to our understanding of our past-- and, urgently so, of our present. Stealing Home, the title of this stunning debut short story collection, is both an allusion to an American pastime and a searing condemnation of its history of forced internment.
