Here is our highly recommended Book of the Month for January. This true story based on the experiences of author Mark Sakamoto's grandparents during WWII brings to light a part of Canadian history that we reflected on. We were reminded of The age-old adage forgive and forget means different things to different people. Some argue that we must never forget. However, most agree that to be able to move forward, we must forgive. That is what Mark Sakamoto sets out to do in his debut novel. If you get a chance to read it, please share your thoughts with us!
