how the years of isolation at Manzanar have affected the family.

I can provide a general comment. The larger aspects of how the U.S. government treated these families is the driving force behind the memoir, but it lingers over the proceedings more like background music. Front and center is a domestic drama about racism and violation of civil rights can impact the cohesion and order of a family. Every member responds differently to the realities of being imprisoned for no other reason than heritage, but that response resonates in the struggle to rebuild a normal life after release from the camps.
