In "Kapoho: Memoir of a Modern Pompeii," Frances H. Kakugawa shares the stories of her life in the town of Kapoho on the Big Island of Hawaii, a town that no longer exists. From the wartime drama of "The Enemy Wore My Face"--recalling her instant transformation to distrusted "Jap" after the bombing of Pearl Harbor--to the sweet poignancy of "A One-Chopstick Marriage"--the story of her parents' relationship--Kakugawa weaves a tapestry of memories drawn from life in a Hawaiian plantation village now buried beneath a blanket of lava.
