A fascinating account of imprisonment in a WWII Japanese internment camp in the Philippines, despite the privations and indignities heaped upon her she forged a post-war career as a peace activist. "Alice Franklin Bryant grew up in a small Missouri town a hundred miles south of St. Louis. Later she moved to St. Louis itself and then Colorado Springs. But it was in Seattle that she finally made her home. She went to the University of Washington there and after her graduation, her wanderlust took her to Canton, China, where she taught English and American children for a year. This gave Mrs. Bryant an opportunity to study Cantonese at which she grew very proficient. She taught in Hawaii and the Philippines and it was in the latter place that she met and married William Cheney Bryant who had been Provincial Governor of Luzon and Mindanao but who, at the time of his marriage to the author, was managing a coconut plantation on Negros. Here they were caught when the Japanese struck. And it was Mrs. Bryant's experiences on Negros that brought about the writing of this book."-Introduction
