About this title
"The reader cannot help but be drawn into these incredibly interesting and moving narratives. Kaminski's inclusion of missionaries, nurses, and women who chose to stay out of the camps and go underground makes this book very valuable. "--Carol Petillo, author of Douglas MacArthur: The Philippine Years
"Eminently readable and engaging. This book helps fill a shocking gap that exists about American female captivity during World War II."--Frances B. Cogan, author of Captured: The Japanese Internment of American Civilians in the Philippines
"The creative efforts of these women to redefine traditional concepts of womanhood and motherhood amidst suffering and deprivation, while hiding from the Japanese or interned in civilian internment camps, is a fascinating and inspiring story. An important contribution to our understanding of the role of American women in wartime."--Barbara Brooks Tomblin, author of G.I. Nightingales
