Snow Falling on Cedars by David Guterson is an award-winning book. In 1954 a fisherman from San Piedro Island in Puget Sound is found suspiciously drowned, and a Japanese-American is charged with his murder. The trial, on the rugged island of San Piedro in Puget Sound, is haunted by memories of what happened to the Japanese residents during World War II when the entire community was sent into exile. The story is a beautifully crafted courtroom drama, love story, and war novel about the ambiguities of justice, the racism even between neighbors, and the necessity of individual moral action.
