"When the Cherry Blossoms Fell" by Jennifer Maruno tells the poignant story of a young Japanese Canadian girl, who grapples with her identity during World War II. As her family is uprooted from their home and forced into internment camps, she faces the challenges of loss, cultural displacement, and the bonds of family. Through her love for cherry blossoms, she finds hope and solace amidst the hardships and uncertainty that define her world. The narrative beautifully weaves themes of resilience, heritage, and the impact of war on personal lives, highlighting the significance of remembering one's roots in times of adversity.
