In the past two years, local writer Diane Dettmann has published two young adult novels (Courageous Footsteps and Yasu’s Quest), revolving around the experiences of teenager Yasu Sakamoto, first in a California internment camp and then into “freedom”, where she discover that, like the barbwire fences, there will always be obstacles in her life that take courage, determination and the support of others to overcome. Join us to listen to portions of her work, and have a discussion about these issues and the books.
