Family Torn Apart by Gail Honda is a first-edition, illustrated paperback that recounts the internment of the Otokichi Muin Ozarki family in Hawai‘i during World War II. This 2012 release from the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawai‘i blends memoir, family history, and wartime biography for adult readers seeking true stories that illuminate Japanese-American experiences in the islands.

The book arrives gently read: the cover shows only light scuffing, the binding remains tight, and pages are crisp and unmarked. A slight separation inside the front cover is cosmetic, not structural, and a tiny edge dent on one leaf is the only other imperfection. No smoke, no writing, no dog-ears—just a clean copy ready for your shelf.

Collectors of Hawai‘iana, WWII scholars, and genealogy buffs will value this scarce first printing. Honda’s narrative weaves internment archives, family photographs, and personal recollections into a compelling portrait of resilience. Secure this copy today to explore a little-known chapter of Japanese-American history told through one family’s journey.
