Chapter 11 will come out later because I have not finished it yet, since I have been busy editing some of the other chapters. I am so  sorry for the late announcement. It will probably be posted by Wednesday.

Hii! Just here to say how much I adored "See Through Me!" The title is powerful as it explores the prejudice Rei faces due to her shy nature and racial background. I loved all the historical context you seamlessly embedded into the plot and the scene where Rachel and Matthew's parents meet Rei for the first time has stayed with me all day. Your writing style is also very beautiful and clear. I'm curious as to how the story will develop following the Attack on Pearl Harbor! I took American History this year, and the Korematsu v. United States case appeared a lot in my year-end exam and wonder if you plan to include that in your book. Best of luck, Hanna!

Hello! 
          
          I will be thoroughly editing chapters of 'See Through Me' every now and then. Also since this is a historical fiction story, I will be writing an authors note for any inaccuracies to important events that I may have made. I will also provide an explanation and list of documents at the end of what I used as inspiration to write this. For example, I have dropped in details from Yuri Kochiyama’s  and Takei’s Stories to make it more historically accurate. 
          
          Obviously, despite research. It is nearly impossible to add every single event that happened during this time. Some details I will include in my book will not be accurate. If the inaccuracy was done on purpose, I will provide an explanation of why I changed it. For instance, I had to change the date of Old China towns destruction to 1938 instead of 1933. This is merely because I had to accommodate to my characters.  
          
          Other than the documents and research I have done, I have relied on my own imagination and experience as a Japanese-American myself. 
          
          As a reminder, this is a work of fiction and I am not a professional. Please feel free to make any corrections to details of an event that I may not be aware of. 
          
          Thank you

No, my book has not finished yet.  I have been having trouble with finding more documents, so thank you for the extra info.

@Hanapiko1453 I learned recently that the Japanese Americans wrongfully imprisoned had renga parties. I've been trying to get ahold of copies of this shared art but so far I haven't had any luck. Based on the topic of your book, this seemed like it might be something you were interested in. Is your book done?
