From the immediate and successful author Traci Chee comes We Are Not Free, the collective narrative of a close-knit group of young Nisei, second-generation Japanese American citizens, whose lives are irrevocably changed by the mass incarcerations in the U.S. during World War II.

Fourteen teenagers who have grown up together in San Francisco's Japantown. Fourteen teenagers who form a community and a family, as connected as they are conflicting. Fourteen teenagers whose lives are turned upside down when over 100,000 people of Japanese descent are forcibly removed from their homes and interned in empty prisons.

In a world that seems determined to hate them, these young Nisei must unite as racism and injustice threaten to tear them apart.
