Silent Honor

Just completed the book "Silent Honor" by Danielle Steel.
This book made me cry, the time i started reading this book till the end. The book is so emotional that i completed this book in 3 days, reason being, didnt want to be in the emotional state for long.
When i started reading this book, never thought that this book would have every bit and kind of emotions, a human can feel in his life time. From love to hate, from peace to war, from being rich to poor, from being very inhumane to humanity, from getting love to see your loved beings going far away from you, what else you can ask for.
I wasn't aware of any interment camps in USA for people of Japanese ancestory after Pearl Harbor till i read this book. A good eye opener of the historical events that took place during World War II in USA for people of Japanese origin. How the people who have been staying in US for so many years were suddenly uprooted and were placed in the camps with difficult conditions. How people lost their jobs, home, loved ones.
It made me think that no one wants a war but still it happens and the life which is lost is of innocent civilians and soldiers. War does no good for any one bit it takes a toll on everything you have with you.
And its not only the time during the war which is difficult but the time after that when people start coming back to their "places": thinking it would still be there but find nothing but robbed homes, no jobs and above all, probably no loved ones left. Time after the war is more difficult than during the war and it is like you are getting born again, just that you have no one to take care of you. You are on your OWN.

God Bless the world !
