I am American. We are all Americans.

The year is 1942. A Japanese-American girl's life is turned upside down by Executive Order 9066, and she must cope with a life confined to the barbed wire of an internment camp in the Arizona desert. There, she struggles to weigh her continued loyalty to her country (which has betrayed and ostracized everyone she loves) against a closely guarded family secret that could change the course of history.

At the Foot of the Lighthouse is a taut and affecting story by Erin Hoffman, a San Francisco-based video game designer whose Chaos Knight fantasy series—starting with Sword of Fire and Sea and continuing with Earth and Sky—are published by Pyr Books.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
