Dottie Masuoka and Louise Krueger are close friends. Dottie’s family is incarcerated and forced to live behind barbed wire. Dottie entrusts the care of her puppy to Louise.

Louise keeps a scrapbook for Dottie so she’ll have a record of all the things that happened back home while she was imprisoned.

Dottie writes letters to Louise detailing life living in cramped quarters and losing her home.
