On the Corner of Bitter and Sweet

My sister recommended or mentioned this title to me within a few weeks of it being chosen as the book of the month by the GWBC.
I can't say that I gained any new insight or that it impacted my life in any grand way. However, I can say that I was unaware that the Puyallup Fairgrounds were once used as a temporary internment camp for Japanese Americans. Strange. It's just so interesting how we as a people try to hide the past or make it better than it was. To view world and local history from an unbiased perspective would be truly eye opening.
Yep, and that's about it. I'm sure I would have gotten more out of it with another read, but I have such a list of wants to read that I'm spinning through other titles that I have less interest in.
