War split nations, but for one family it carved a line straight through the heart.
Midnight in Broad Daylight traces the true story of the Fukuhara brothers, Japanese Americans whose lives diverged in the years before World War II. Harry returned to the United States, only to face internment and then service as a military interpreter. His brothers, Frank and Pierce, remained in Hiroshima and served in the Japanese Imperial Army. As the conflict escalates, the brothers move closer to one another across opposing fronts, unaware of how their paths may collide.
Through intimate detail and meticulous research, Pamela Rotner Sakamoto reveals a family caught between loyalty, identity, and survival.
This is a powerful portrait of resilience, racism, and the human cost of war.
