Summary
:
Separated from her family in the confusion and horror of World War II, Tomiko Higa tells her own story of survival on the battlefields of Okinawa, Japan. Fleeing from encroaching enemy forces, searching desperately for her lost sisters, opening the knapsacks of dead soldiers for scraps of food, risking death at every turn, seven-year-old Tomiko somehow finds the courage and strength to survive on her own.
