We Are Not Free follows a group of Japanese American teens who are taken to internment camps during WWII. It shines a light on a horrifying and heartbreaking piece of U.S. history. 

The story is told creatively, each main character having a chapter/section from their own distinct POV. Sadly, although I enjoyed this piece of the story, it led to me never fully connecting with the individual characters.
