"I've also read quite a bit about the history of Firland Sanitorium which Betty MacDonald renamed "The Pines" in her book "The Plague and I" about recovering from tuberculosis. Her roommate "Kimi" in the sanitorium, is real life Monica Sone, who went on to write "Nisei Daughter" about her life as a Japanese-American, who spent time with her family in Washington internment camps during WWII."
