It begins with a Japanese American girl sent to an internment camp in Oklahoma during World War II. Read in reverse, it reveals the journey of a Latina girl detained in the very same camp decades later, during the U.S. policy of migrant family separation. Harrowing and emotionally charged, this poetic narrative compels us to confront a haunting question: What have we truly learned in the past 80 years about how we treat the most vulnerable among us? With haunting symmetry and striking parallels, \u003ci\u003eBarbed Wire Between Us\u003c\/i\u003e is a moving meditation on justice, memory, and the echoes of history that still shape our present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMia Wenjen\u003c\/b\u003e is an Asian American author who blogs about parenting, children's books, and education at pragmaticmom.com.
