If you’re a fan of historical fiction it doesn’t get much better than this novel. It’s a great look at the brave Army nurses and women that helped the troops out and had to deal with the Japenese during WWII in The Philippines. It’s 1941 and Tess Abbott is a nurse in Manilla with the army when December 7th hits and Pearl Harbor is bombed. Soon the Japanese hit Manilla and things go bad for Tess, her other nurse friends and the military and the country. Then they’re captured and held as prisoners of war at the Santo Tomas Interment Camp. It soon is a fight to survive and Tess and others join the resistance in order to help defeat the Japanese. It will take everything they have to save there lives not knowing what or when the good guys will come to save them. Based on real life events…you won’t want to put down this brave story.
