Excerpt from back cover: Gerarda Bossard was in her early teens in 1943 when the Japanese army swarmed through the Ditch East Indies and took her, along with her mother and two sisters, prisoner. For three years she suffered an indescribably painful and humiliating existence as a prisoner of war under a heartless and brutal Japanese regime. Her father, meanwhile was also captured by the Japanese and suffered terribly. Now, forty years on since her arrival in New Zealand, Gerarda Bossard has decided to tell her story.
