Ruth Asawa grew up on a farm in California. During WWII she and her Japanese family were imprisoned in a relocation camp in Arkansas. She was able to leave the prison and go to college. Her art was influenced by her travels and life experiences.

A beautifully illustrated and well written book about an artist who had to constantly fight for herself and for her art. She accomplished a great many things in spite of her many trials.
