History remembers battles and treaties. This story remembers the people living in their shadows.
Set across two pivotal moments in the Pacific War — Hawaiʻi in 1941 and Japan in 1945 — White Flags: In Between the Lies follows two young lives shaped by the quiet pressures of identity, loyalty, and survival.
Before the attack on Pearl Harbor, Wren and Miko are simply teenagers navigating the edges of their island world. When war arrives, they are thrust into histories they did not choose, caught between the expectations of their families, their communities, and the nations that claim them.
Years later, in the uncertain aftermath of Japan’s surrender, their paths cross again in a landscape marked by loss and reconstruction. What they discover — about themselves, about each other, and about the truths buried beneath wartime narratives — unfolds in the spaces where official history falls silent.
Blending intimate character drama with the vast sweep of the Pacific War, White Flags explores the hidden identities, unspoken loyalties, and quiet acts of courage that shape ordinary lives in extraordinary times.
A novel for readers who believe history is not only what happens on the battlefield, but what happens in the hearts of those who survive it.
