Description
Dive into a lesser-known chapter of American history with author Lindsay Marie Morris: the experiences of Italian Americans on the West Coast during World War II. Based on the real events that inspired her historical novel Beneath the Sicilian Stars, Marie Morris brings to life the stories of Contra Costa County families labeled "enemy aliens" forced to evacuate their homes, as well as men imprisoned in internment camps.
