Tallgrass, by Sandra Dallas

Her life turned upside-down when a Japanese internment camp is opened in their small Colorado town, Rennie witnesses the way her community places suspicion on the newcomers when a young girl is murdered, an event that prompts Rennie's own perspective change and the discovery of dangerous secrets. By the author of New Mercies.


There was a Japanese internment camp near the area I lived in northern Colorado. I remember learning about it in 5th grade civics & being horrified that we did that here in the USA.
