Elise Sontag is a typical Iowa 14-year-old in 1943 - aware of the war but distanced from its reach. Then her father, a legal US resident for nearly two decades, is suddenly arrested on suspicion of being a Nazi sympathizer. The family is sent to an internment camp in Texas, where behind the armed guards and barbed wire, Elise feels stripped of everything beloved and familiar, including her own identity. The only thing that makes the camp bearable is meeting fellow internee Mariko Inoue, a Japanese-American teen from Los Angeles.

Publisher's Summary
Here is the dramatic story of two young girls, Megan and Jen, who meet in first grade and quickly become inseparable friends.
Inseparable, that is, until one of them is snatched away by kidnappers as the other young girl watches helplessly. The remaining child grows up with the haunting memory of her friend's abduction...and absence from her life. Then, 16 years later, the stunning truth of the disappearance is revealed. And once again, lives are changed forever.
This wonderful and heartrending second novel endears the listener to every character in this intriguing story. A testament to God's ability to "work all things together for good". A smashing follow-up to the author's well-received first novel, Why the Sky Is Blue.
