We have another wonderful author talk, this time with the awesome Mike Malaghan. He is the author of the bestselling Picture Bride trilogy. He will be discussing his newest book A Question of Loyalty (the second installment in the trilogy) and signing books! Come on by for a great event!
About A Question of Loyalty:
A Question of Loyalty celebrates the “no retreat” Japanese Americans who fought the war on two fronts—from the heroics of the famed 100th Battalion on the battlefields of Italy to the bitter struggle against dishonor and humiliation at home.
In this blockbuster sequel to his best-selling novel Picture Bride, Mike Malaghan continues the story of Haru Takayama, the proud Japanese immigrant who makes Hawaii her home and raises her children as loyal Americans. But Haru’s world changes forever when Japan attacks Pearl Harbor, her husband is arrested and a son is discharged from his ROTC unit simply for wearing the face of the enemy, and two other children find themselves trapped in Japan.
