Description
"This sequel to No Quiet Water gently addresses for young readers the injustices of war. Transporting us this time to Japan, Zachary's goodwill mission brings him face to face with the emotional and physical realities of the aftermath of war." -Peggy Reiff Miller, Heifer Project historian and author of The Seagoing Cowboys
Zachary Whitlock knows sheep. He knows farming and knows what it's like to have his best friend forced into an internment camp for Japanese Americans. What he does not know much about is goats and traveling by sea on cargo ships, yet he makes a decision to go with a group of volunteers to Japan to help deliver a herd of more than two hundred goats, many of which are pregnant, to survivors of the U.S. bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Goats will provide much-needed milk and nutrition, and people living in the bombed ruins are sick and hungry.
What he also does not know at the age of seventeen is what it means to be seasick, how to navigate the personalities of seasoned seamen, and how to keep not only goats but himself alive during a typhoon.
A fascinating follow-up to No Quiet Water, Shirley Miller Kamada's well-received novel about the WWII internment era, Zachary: A Seagoing Cowboy is a story full of adventure, human connection, and a young man's coming of age.
