(Media-Newswire.com) - BOTHELL, Wash. - The University of Washington Bothell welcomes local author Mary Woodward to campus on Wednesday, November 5, 2:30 p.m. in the Library, room 205.
Woodward will discuss her new book In Defense of Our Neighbors and participate in a Q&A session with the audience. A book signing will follow.
"In Defense of Our Neighbors is a personal, stirring account one couple's fight to help a community grapple with the internment of its Japanese American citizens-the first group in the country to be forcibly exiled. It is the story that inspired Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson, who wrote the foreword."
"Written by the late couple's daughter, Mary Woodward, In Defense of Our Neighbors offers a unique perspective on a troubling chapter of American history. Woodward, who still lives on Bainbridge Island, is well positioned to offer insights on a community that approached this crisis like no other in the country-and the brave, principled couple that today remains a symbol of heroism to the Japanese American community and defenders of civil liberties" ( excerpted from the publisher's press release ).
