It doesn't snow much or often where I live, so I really enjoyed a couple snow days recently ❄️ Hope you have a happy new year 🥳

This book is now coming on 20 years since it’s debut in 1994. The author, a high school teacher at Bainbridge High School, worked on this historical novel for 10 years. When the idea for the novel started, it was 1984, only 3 years hence from the year In which the story unfolds. He wrote from the point of view of an outside-insider, a Pacific Northwest Islander, who was observing the events of 1942-1952. Japanese-American Bainbridge Islanders, were some of the first to be forcibly excluded, with very little warning, and incarcerated. Have you read this story? How well does it stand the test of time? Deeply researched, how did the author, who is not Japanese-American, capture the unrelenting impact that incarceration had on those who were forced from their homes, their neighbors, communities, and their families? Note: This book is on several banned book lists in the USA and Canada, for several reasons. #JapaneseAmerican #BannedBooks #Incarceration #OutsiderPOV #SnowFallingOnCedars #davidgutersonbook #exclusionact (at Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcEI995JTVN/?utm_medium=tumblr

#Tothewriter #DavidGuterson #RonBass #ScottHicks #SnowFallingOnCedars “I ponder matters...in the light of death, in a way that most of you do not and I feel like a traveler descended from Mars, astounded by what I see. The same human frailty... passed on from generation to generation. We hate one another. We are the victims...of irrational fears, of prejudice. You might think... that this is a small trial in a small place. Well, it isn't." https://www.instagram.com/p/CABDfFFDTPZ/?igshid=1dgrmssl53ryf

#ToTheWriter #DavidGuterson “None of those other things makes a difference. Love is the strongest thing in the world, you know. Nothing can touch it. Nothing comes close. If we love each other we're safe from it all. Love is the biggest thing there is.” #SnowFallingonCedars https://www.instagram.com/p/B4oKKkqjChb/?igshid=vcgq18igdkce

A fan made video. One of my favorite songs from Sting and Reeve is in this. 😍
