Synopsis

The daughter of a World War II soldier remembers her life on Corregidor from 1939 to 1941, and her life in San Francisco after the evacuation of dependents. Her father died when the Japanese prison ship Enoura Maru was bombed and sunk, leaving six children and his wife to struggle with the personal consequences of the war.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

To write is to first read the unwritten. I was orphaned in the ashes of adolescence, and it was a tough read. As an octogenarian it was my task to let this young girl surface and find her way with words into this present world. It is against the political backdrop of WWII, in the Pacific theater, that a story of a teenager with mischievous brothers and an overwrought mother unfolds as she explores the overgrown jungle paths and bathes in the sumptuous Philippine sunsets. The disquieting thought that my father may die both overwhelms and emboldens me, and I become, as many before, a casualty of war.
