Ten-year-old Manami did not realize how peaceful her family's life on Bainbridge Island was until the day it all changed. It's 1942, after the attack on Pearl Harbor, and Manami and her family are Japanese American, which means that the government says they must leave their home by the sea and join other Japanese Americans at a prison camp in the desert. Manami is sad to go, but even worse is that they are going to have to give her and her grandfather's dog, Yujiin, to a neighbor to take care of. Manami decides to sneak Yujiin under her coat and gets as far as the mainland before she is caught and forced to abandon Yujiin. She and her grandfather are devastated, but Manami clings to the hope that somehow Yujiin will find his way to the camp and make her family whole again. It isn't until she finds a way to let go of her guilt that Manami can reclaim the piece of herself that she left behind and accept all that has happened to her family.

Leanna Burns, author of From A to Z: Feed Your Soul and Lose the Weight, Soul Beautiful, Naturally, and Living the Soul Dolce Vita, now brings us this unique guide to making your soul wishes come true. We arrive on this planet as soul wishers, yet over time we may stop making soul wishes for one reason or another. And this is not a good thing, since soul wishes are so full of good and benefit all of us on our journey. Naturally, what benefits each and every one of us benefits this planet we live on. This would have to be the number one reason for making soul wishes in that they help to make the world a better place. Leanna Burns considers soul wishes to be an integral part of every soul's journey here on earth. And as such they are the way in which a soul learns and grows and progresses forward. The assistance of soul wishes from other souls intermingled with our own individual soul wishes bring this process about. Soul wishes help to lead each soul to its destiny.
