Emily Coates lived a life many Americans would envy. She grew up in the Philippine Islands in a diplomatic family, and reached adulthood when Franklin Delano Roosevelt was in the White House and Glenn Miller's band was all the rage. Her job with the Army Air Corps in Manila was exciting until the day the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, rapidly followed by air and sea attacks on Manila. At twenty-two, invading Japanese took her, her mother, and her sisters as captives. They ended up in an internment camp, where for nearly four years they experienced deprivation to an almost unimaginable degree. Will this pampered American princess collapse under pressure? Or, will she show the courage that will lead future generations to call hers the Greatest Generation?

Hackett Well written, well researched historical novel of the internee camp at Santo Tomas, Philippines. This is not a well known part of WWII history but should be of attention. At the time of Pearl Harbor there were many Americans and others of the Ally nationalities living and working in the Philippines. When the Japanese invaded Manila these people were put in war camps.Therese Martin, a daughter of one of the internees,. does a remarkable job of using her family's history to construct a historically accurate description of life in Santo Tomas, a camp right in Manila. In many ways it is a love story. But, more importantly it provides to the lucky readers, a sense of what life was like in the Japanese internment camps.

This is an extremely well-written tale of survival which chronicles the perils of life in a concentration camp for civilians in Manila run by the Japanese during WWII. Based on the lives of the author's relatives, Therese.Martin presents a masterful chronicle of heroism and hardship. Though intended for middle school readers, the story will certainly appeal to an adult audience as well, especially one interested in learning about a rarely discussed aspect of the last world war.Good storytelling combined with a fascinating setting makes reading this book more than just worthwhile. It's an education--about not only the horrors of war, but the nobility of survival, and the value of freedom. This would make a tremendous film.
