The Victory Garden

The Victory Garden

Here’s an illustration I did a while back that fits perfectly with my novel The Victory Garden, about a Japanese farm girl interned at Manzanar.

It turns out the word Manzanar means “apple orchard” in Spanish—an unexpected and poetic connection to the story’s roots.

I’ve finally completed the full-length manuscript and am keeping my fingers crossed that it finds its way to publication.
