In December 1941, with surprise air raids rocking Pearl Harbor in the Hawaiian Islands and American airbases in the Philippines, General Douglas MacArthur urged the residents of Manila to evacuate the city before the Japanese bombed it as well.
Nine-year old Isabel Yumol and her family fled their home and headed to Bataan, her mother’s home province. War found them anyway, and when U.S. and Filipino forces could not hold off the Japanese invaders, life became even more tenuous for Isabel’s family as they faced a prolonged, if not permanent, enemy occupation.
In a provocative and poignant story, Isabel recollects life through the eyes of a young girl as she faced loss, unease, fear, uncertainty, and deprivations amid the storms of war. She developed into a serious and thoughtful young woman under the stresses of the cataclysm breaking over her homeland.

- This story was told with such insight from a young ladies perspective. I enjoyed the embedded lessons of patience and caring for family and community. You really get to see the toughness in a people oppressed. The book helps me understand the author and her achievements even more.
- What an engrossing story of a young woman trying to survive, with her family,
the horrors of WWII and the Japanese occupation of the Philippines. - A memoir that one reads with a sense of suspense. It's intriguing to imagine oneself as a young teenager, from an affluent family, running, hiding, adapting to Japanese occupation. The ingenuity, courage, discipline, and adaptation exposed in this page- turner is ennobling, inspirational, and a seldom available insight into a piece of WWII history.
