"Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford is the story of Henry Lee, a Chinese American boy in Settle who falls in love with Keiko, a Japanese American girl, as she is sent to a concentration camp during World War II. It is a bittersweet tale about racism, commitment and enduring hope - a noble romantic journey set in 1942, and later in 1986, when the belongings of Nikkei families are discovered in the basement of an old hotel.
