As a Hawaiian who lived on the same island, it’s really interesting to read these stories from a personal lenses of what had happened during those times. Reading this from a personal lease helps humanize history and also helps us realize that this didn’t happen 200 years ago or in the very distant past but within a persons lifetime and how it affects them to this day, as of right now 1941 is 82 years which is literally someone else’s age today and that’s crazy to think about and comprehend. I also love how the author is very empathetic and not at all beaming hatred to anyone in her book as well as she recounts her brief personal history with the USS Arizona as well.
