A GIRL LIKE YOU
Book ID/图书代码： 02000013B62353
English Summary/英文概要： Thirteen-year-old Satomi Baker is used to being different. It is 1939, and in rural west-coast California being half-white and half-Japanese gets you noticed. Her parents seem so happy together, and so proud to be American, but she has never felt she exactly fits in - even though her striking looks have caught the eye of the most popular boy at school.
When war is declared, Satomi’s father Aaron is one of the first to sign up, and he is sent to the base at Pearl Harbour. He never returns. News of the Japanese attack transmits through the Bakers’ crackling radio. Satomi’s strong, stoical mother Tamura is flung into a private realm of grief - while all around them the world changes irrevocably. The community that has tolerated its foreign residents for decades suddenly turns on them, and along with thousands of other Japanese-American citizens (and anyone with ’one drop of Japanese blood’ in them) they are sent to a brutal labour camp in the wilderness which future generations will choose to forget.
At Manzanar Satomi learns what it takes to survive, who she can trust, and what it means to be American. But it will be years before she will discover who she really is under the surface of her skin. A Girl Like You is her story, and the riveting and moving story of a lost generation.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 13岁的里美•贝克一直以来都是与众不同的。在1939年的加利福尼亚西海岸郊区，一半白人一半日本人的面庞总是格外的引人注目。尽管她的父母作为美国人幸福且自豪的生活着，也不论她突出的外表吸引了学校多少帅哥们的注意，她本人却从未真正的感到融入其中过。战争即将打响，里美的父亲自告奋勇的从军了，并被分到了美军在珍珠港的基地之中。然而他却再也没有回来过，广播上有关于日本偷袭的消息几乎穿透了贝克家的收音机。里美原本坚强冷静的母亲如今已深陷悲伤之中----在她们的身边世界正以不可扭转的方式惊人的变化着。曾经那个接纳她们这些外国移民数十年的社区在一夕之间突然变得敌对起来，与其他成千上万名日裔美国人们一样（只要有一丝一毫的日裔血统），她们被送往了一个位于荒野之外的可怕而野蛮的劳改营，这段经历是后代们绝不想忆起的经历。
在曼扎拿集中营里，里美学会了生存之道，她学会了究竟谁值得信任，而又究竟何为美国人。殊不知当她真正意识到隐藏在肤色背后的真正的自己将会是几年之后的事情了。《妳》不仅仅是关于一名女孩的故事，更是讲述了她那迷茫一代的生动而感人的故事。（DC）
