Torn Apart: The Internment Diary of Mary Kobayashi (Dear Canada)
Praise forDear Canada: Torn Apart"For those of us who are the children and grandchildren of Evacuation and Internment survivors, this book deserves our special attention and, hopefully, will be the catalyst for a younger generation to be empowered by better knowing who they are and where they come from." —Norm Masaji Ibuki, National Association of Japanese Canadians"I found it really interesting, even though it was sad. It seemed more real than fiction...I would definitely recommend it." —The National Post(review by Maia and Diana, age 9)"Though the outlines of the story may seem sadly familiar, they are chilling when revisited in the diary of 12-year-old Mary Kobayashi." —The Montreal Gazette"An important story...this reader was moved to fury, and tears." —CM Magazine
